So, in spring i found out i gained a lot of weight, by realising that ALL of my warm weather pants dont fit me anymore. What a scene! Imaging room floor covered in jeans and pants and panicking me realising i really cannot fit in any of them, and literally have almost nothing to wear. Pretty rough!
So, weight gain was a result of a complete de-dieting, absolute eat-whatever-you-want couple months i organized to myself. I followed an advice from dr Mike from RP, from a video about diet fatigue. Before i was starting to develop really unhealthy and unhappy relationship with sugar. Resist-binge-shame cicle daily, i felt it wearing down my mental strength. So, for a couple of months i didnt restrict myself at all, and i didn't put any end day to this, i was ready to never resrtict again. And let me be clear, it was a great decision and i would absolutely do it again. I have reset my brain and i have super healthy relationship with food now, 10/10, would recommend, would do again.
When jeans catastrophe happened, i had literally the best, most healthiest food view of all my life, wonderful feeling, and i was inner ready to restrict peacefully, and i did.
Also i gained weight big enough that first time in my life i need to diet to lose weight (before it was just health concerns, kinda like ortorexia). Diet is going great, i implemented the smallest deficit possible, basically started to eat sane calorie amount a day (2100, im a very tall woman), while figuring what low-calorie options I like. I lost around 3 kg in 3 weeks, right on track.
But, in the beginning i thought i won't buy any new pants, so i would be additionally motivated to stick to a plan. I have only one jeans to go to work now. And ive realised lately, it is just not working. I better buy good pants that truly fit me now. Cause why would I add tension to such a touchy situation with weight loss? There's no motivation for me, just punish.
So yesterday i happily bought new pair of pants, they fit me perfectly and im super comfortable. I didnt even realise old jeans were so tight. Im still losing weihgt, but i decerve to feel nice while i do it, and it is good to have big pants just in case i gain it again some day, no shame, life is hard. Or i could tailor them. All good.
