I've been on this subreddit since 2015, and over that time I've gone up and down many times. Yesterday I looked at this side by side 5 year difference, and all I felt was gratitude.
What's worked best for me: 1000 calorie deficit (any food in moderation) + 10k steps a day (usually an hour long walk is needed). The daily consistency is the biggest challenge, but I do it most days and that's what matters. I also have a very good therapist.
I tried intense workouts and whole30, and while that made me lose quicker, I always gained that weight back because I wasn't doing something that worked for me long term. Go at the pace that works best for you. These 5 years went by in a flash and they changed my life.
Sharing because it's posts like these that always kept me coming back to better choices. Thank you to everyone on this subreddit for sharing their journeys, challenges, and successes. It's a vulnerable thing that has genuinely touched my heart.
