For the first time in 4 years I am no longer obese. Having a hard time letting that sink in but I broke into the overweight BMI this morning and somehow dared to do an underwear photo comparison.
I have been dieting on and off my entire adult life repeating the cycle of gaining and losing, with each gain cycle plunging me deeper into hopelessness.
I started my latest and hopefully my last weightloss journey on March 11 of this year following a work trip to an exotic country from where I couldn’t even bear to show my family pictures of myself and realized that I was not living my best life.
I wasn’t confident that the lifestyle change would stick. Most days I’m still not sure that I can maintain/keep losing X years down the line.
Now all I can say is that I wish I hadn’t obsessively deleted the even more unflattering photos in a bathing suit from last summer - all I kept is this one in a hammock.
Down 48 lbs and going strong most days.
Thank you all for sharing your stories and helping me through many cravings and off-days!
Sorry if my post is all over the place I am still processing what to me is an unexpected accomplishment.
Also, do not delete your most unflattering pictures! One day you’ll wish you had them to compare to!
