Long story short, I lost a bunch of weight 9 years ago and went from a size 16 to a size 6. I was able to maintain it until last year first by having the metabolism of a college student and then by having an eating disorder. But when I went to therapy, and my anxiety and OCD got better (and when I started a new job that had lots of hours), I gained back all the weight +15 lbs.
I’ve been through therapy and I’m working with a nutrition coach who knows my history (she helps me set macro goals). The issue with maintaining before is that I was so strict that it wasn’t sustainable. Plus it was based off of anxiety and OCD rather than from a healthy mindset.
This time will be different. I’m working on building healthy habits that I can maintain for a lifetime, and I’m doing it from a place of love and care for myself, rather than from fear and from hating myself.
That said, I wanted to post my “Q1” (first three months of the year) goals somewhere. As you can see, these are all action-oriented, not number on the scale oriented. I may not have control over how many pounds I lose, but I have control over my actions.
