Reality Check
I’ve been consistently a size 14-16 (AU) for about 7+ years, then the pandemic happened. Lots of stressful stuff went on, anxiety at all time high, and I gained weight. I’ve also worked from home the past three years, and as such I’ve just been in my cosy loungewear and trackies all day everyday. We’re returning to office in a week, so I have been happily buying clothes online thinking I deserved a treat after all the stuff, and I bought these really nice work dresses in size 18.
They arrived today, and boy was I in for a nasty surprise. The dresses barely fit me and were bursting in my tummy area. I thought I was already being generous by getting them a size higher than what I thought I still was but then I got on the scale for the first time in a long while and saw that I gained 17 kg from that time that I was a size 16.
I thought I’d been doing well with intermittent fasting (16-8) and fasted cardio every other day but clearly there’s a long way to go. I feel like shit now and I’m extremely demotivated. I need to up my game but oh god, imagine thinking I only needed a size up when I actually gained 17kgs.
I’m beating myself up for it mentally right now, but tomorrow is another day and I need to forgive myself if I want to get healthy. I’m planning to go down to 65kg (my healthiest weight in my adult life), and right now I’m at 97kg. Please wish me luck and send good vibes. I’m going to work for it.
