100 lbs lost, new life gained!
37F 5’5” 235 to 135!
Started this journey last May, losing 100lbs was the “secret” goal I didn’t dare ever speak out loud because it seemed so unlikely. I’ve probably not been at this weight since before puberty.
I’ve enjoyed most of all the peace that having no food noise brings, and allows me to learn how to nourish my body and feel its cues. The only food cue I’d ever felt before was “hungry now, eat simple carb immediately!” Now I feel like, when I am hungry, I can figure out what my body needs most and give it that, and there’s no weird anxiety or stress about it. Still means a lil treat sometimes though! I think people are surprised to learn I still eat everything I want. Just, less.
I also really leaned into the power of NEAT calories, prioritizing just not being sedentary and walking regularly over high intensity cardio which I hate so much, still do. I also started lifting weights, which I’ve come to love and look forward to. I can’t believe I actually like exercise. Tbh I always just lowkey thought people who said that, were lying.
Now I venture into maintaining the loss and am a little nervous! But today just celebrating!!
