My unintentional Christmas present to myself....I weighed in under 120 lbs for the first time in 8 years this morning! I'm 5'2" and gained 65 lbs over a very short span of time 8 years ago due to unknown health issues (it turned out to be PCOS.) I have spent every year since slowly chipping away at the weight gained, the PCOS has made it hard at times. But with the right medication, low-impact exercises, and adjusting my eating habits I finally hit my long-term goal! Now I'd like to just focus on toning and maintaining a healthy weight for the rest of my life.
Along the way I have never cut out foods that I enjoy, only made changes to my mindset around eating. I am so happy to have lost the weight slowly and steadily. My chronic pain is lower at a lower weight, my clothes feel comfortable, and I feel more carefree. So Merry Christmas to me! And a Merry Christmas to everyone else on a long-haul weight loss journey.
