I compared a photo of myself from the end of August until now and OML
(20F)
I'm genuinely so happy. It wasn't a New Years' resolution, it wasn't an "eventually I'll get round to it", I've managed to create a routine of sustainable and healthy weight loss. I finally look healthy and I'm so happy! My skin has its glow back, I can fit into old clothes without it seeming awkward, and I'm the smallest I've been in a while.
At the beginning of this year, I developed what I can only name as a binge eating issue. I was insatiable. I was eating entire packs of teacakes and biscuits in one day with absolutely no self-control, then I would eat nothing for a day to "make up" for it (ie, the 3500+ calories I'd probably eaten in one sitting). I was bordering on a size 18 (UK) for most of the beginning of this year and now, I've made it down to a size 12 (UK). Which, if you know my body type, I am not genetically set up to be a size 18 and believe me my body looked it. I'm 5,2 and I've got a very small frame so size 16/18 just looked odd on me.
Since June, I've worked towards weight loss. I began by interrailing, where I naturally and easily dropped a lot simply because I was doing 20,000+ steps a day and I wasn't eating anywhere near what I used to (mainly because I was trying to save money for museum tickets). When I came home I was determined to not put it back on, after faltering and being lazy for a few weeks, I went to uni where I signed up for a gym membership and have been going steadily since September.
I compared a photo of myself from August. My love handles are getting smaller, my ass doesn't make me want to fly to Turkey or Brazil anymore, my waist has gone from 34 to 30, and my thighs now actually have muscle definition. All in all, I just look healthier and I'm genuinely so happy because I never thought myself capable of sticking it out and being resilient.
