My most recent weigh in was in february at 235lb and I'm 5'11" 30F, I don't weigh or measure myself because I used to have an ED so I have to celebrate entirely NSVs, I'm also not sure what my current weight is because I only get weighed at the doctor and I haven't been. My goal weight is 150lb
NEVERTHELESS, today I went to my favorite hole in the wall thrift store where I always find the best stuff for dirt cheap and I picked up a couple of hoodies and a couple of pairs of leggings for fall. I got home and was looking through the stuff and I realized it all looked.... small... like too small and I was worried it wouldn't fit, I put it away and just said to myself "oh well, i'm losing weight I'll fit into it eventually" I ended up pulling one of the hoodies out, size M and thinking man, even if it does fit, it's going to be tight and make me look boxy but I tried it on anyway and to my surprise, it fit perfectly, like perfectly perfectly and it was comfortable and didn't make me feel like i was being strangled by the neckline.
Anyway, today was my cheat day, I did brunch which I ate half of and saved the rest for lunch, then dinner where we go grocery shopping and get food from the deli for dinner after we're done. I ate more than I should have and ended up going over 3000 calories for the day and I felt super nervous. I think eating so much and not going to the gym caused me a bit of insomnia, whether of it's own accord or by the associated anxiety and I lay in bed thinking about the leggings I bought today, there was this amazing, perfect pair of velvet leggings by SPANX which I looked up and were very expensive at retail that I got for a steal, but when I inspected them at home they looked TINY and I couldn't figure out what possessed me to buy them, I kept thinking....what if I just tried them on, you never know, I could just try them on. So I got up, started making pickled red onions at midnight to see if cooking would put me back to sleep (no), then I went and looked in the mirror. I looked really good, my skin was a lot smoother (and softer) and my belly looked smaller, my face looked thinner, I finally decided to go grab the leggings and try them on. They're made of a spanx material so they're kind of stretchy but they don't stretch very far, the stretch functions more as compression than give and I put one leg in and thought, "jeez, I'm not going to get very far" put the other leg in, PRAYED that they would go over my butt and.. THEY DID, these tiny, REALLY NICE, compression leggings FIT ME they looked so small, my brain is still not registering how this managed to happen. I'm so used to struggling with clothes that I thought would fit only to find they in fact, do not. This a big win for fandeathgrips ladies, gentlemen etc. I'm starting to feel more like myself and it's fun to go shopping again!
I've been doing 4 days of cardio a week, trying to get over 10,000 steps a day and trying to add in a little weight lifting. I eat around 1300-1500 calories a day except on my cheat day and try to eat as much protein as I can, I cook all my meals and try to eat fruit and veggies every day as well as drink at least 96oz of water. I've been at it a little over 3 weeks and it's been hard but it gets easier every day. It probably doesn't hurt that the elevator to my apartment complex is broken and I live on the top floor either.
