progress report!

SW: 197

CW: 173.4

i was in a plateau for around a month, so i made some adjustments to my eating habits and it seems like i'm breaking through! it feels so good to finally be consistent after all these past years of wanting this but never trying hard enough. everyone's been pointing out my progress lately and it's really encouraging hearing everyone talk about how good i look when i'm not even at my goal yet! this time next year i'll probably have maintained my goal for a few months, and that thought makes me really happy :)

people are noticing my progress! came home for school break and people who haven't seen me in months said i've lost so much. on my way home people were much nicer to me than usual, too. and i'm not even at my goal yet! i can't wait to see what my life will be like and how people will treat me when i'm where i want to be.

also been starting to see myself detach from the addictiveness of food. i can exist around food without feeling like i need to have some right that moment. i can smell something delicious and think "oh that smells good, maybe i'll get that sometime later" instead of "that smells good, i want some right now even though it'll ruin my plans for dinner" and i think that's amazing.

i think this is a huge turning point in my recovery from BED and i'm very proud of myself. °.•*💚

i'm in the 170s now and i'm so happy! i've been making progress pretty consistently, sticking to my c4l goal and exercising almost every day with nice long walks :) i've not noticed a huge difference visually but i do see that my hands and collarbone have become more defined and my calf muscles are pretty visible now. i'm sure it looks more obvious to others than to me x)

i'm honestly really proud of myself. there have been so many years before this one where i said "this is the year i'm going to finally get fit" and completely failed, but last november i had enough of being the old me and finally made it happen. i'm doing it! i'm so happy i'm in a place in life where i have all the willpower and resources i need to reach my goal. i can't wait to see how i look and feel by the end of the year.

i overate a few days ago. i gave in to my hunger and ate until i was uncomfortably full, like i would've gotten sick if i took just one more bite. i was a little ashamed of myself for it, but i tallied up the cals anyway...and it was only about 1900. the "huge" amount of food i ate that day that had me feeling so so full was 1900 -- that used to be an undereating day for me back when i was 211. i can't believe i've come so far that i literally can't eat the amount of food i did when i was 0b3se. i'm getting better! i'm so proud of myself!

🌿 •.° tips that help me cope with BED *.~

☆ having the best bite of a meal first! idk how many times i've eaten more than i wanted to just cause i was saving the best bite for last. eat the best bite first and it's 100 times easier to put the food down when you start to enjoy it less.

☆ not keeping more than 1 serving of sweets in the house at a time! this might not work for those who don't live on their own but it works really well for me. if i want dessert i have to commit to going out and enjoying it somewhere like an ice cream shop or cafe and i don't take any back home with me. it makes eating sweets feel more special and fun too!

☆ rating my food as i eat! while i'm enjoying something, i put my full attention on it and think of how i'd rate it on a scale from 1 to 10. i do this frequently and if my enjoyment ever drops below a 7 i put it down. giving your full attention to your food when you eat and taking the time to consciously enjoy it can help you feel more satisfied when you're done!

hope this helps my fellow BED girlies out there, you got this <3

been a while since i posted anything, but things have been going well for me! the past few weeks i've consistently been in the range of 183 to 180 which is the lowest ive been in a long time! i'm going to be so happy when i finally get into the 170s :) the past week or two i've admittedly not been eating the best so this week i'm gonna be eating better and consciously trying to get in my exercise ᕙ⁠(͡⁠°⁠‿⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠ᕗ gonna go to the gym today and hit a full body weightlifting workout!

i reached a c@l counting streak of like 85 days before breaking it a few weeks ago bc i b1nged on sweets 😭 so now i'm gonna try to beat that record and get to 100 days!

[undeadself]

small update: i've been sticking around 188-190 for the past week or so! i expect it might drop soon. i've been trying my best to eat high quality healthy meals, and i've been getting a lot of steps in this week for exercise :) went clothes shopping today and found some cute basic pieces to layer with!

hit 189 this morning!!! i'm so happy! the last time i was in the 180s was 2021 (⁠〒⁠﹏⁠〒⁠) i feel really good and my mom said she's noticed me toning up. i think i look pretty much the same, but maybe that's a sign i should be taking progress pictures :P either way i'm really proud of myself. i said this time was going to be when i get serious and finally reach my goals for real, and it really is happening!

also i did crossfit again this morning and i absolutely killed the workout....even though the workout almost killed me too (⁠ꏿ⁠﹏⁠ꏿ⁠;⁠) it was really warm in the gym today so it was tougher than usual. but i survived! yay!

almost out of the 190s!!! proud of myself for that! i've fallen behind on strength training but i have at least been walking a lot. i've been going strong with my 1800 limit and it's honestly felt like just the right amount for me :) did overeat a couple days recently but not by much, so idrc.

i've been eating a lot of fresh fruit lately which feels so good!!! honestly crave it more than sweets sometimes now. something i do want to work on is getting a little more protein (i average around 70-80 grams a day but for muscle building i wanna hit 90-110) and getting more veggies too. and i wanna cook more often!

don't have much to say beyond that but i'm doing good and making progress!

i've lost 4.3 so far! that's great! i'm hoping the excitement and motivation that i've been feeling stays with me throughout the rest of my journey.

i've been focusing on working out more this month. having the goal of 5 days a week in my december challenge boosted my sense of discipline about exercise and made me really want to get more consistent. it's not just important for losing weight, working out is honestly fun for me and feels really good when i do remember to do it! i did a 45 minute arm workout yesterday, and not only did it feel great in the moment, but when i woke up this morning and felt that my arms were sore i was so proud of myself for working my muscles correctly! it was my first time coming up with my own workout, choosing how many sets and reps and everything, and i guess i did a good job!! today i'm going on a walk too, that'll be about 20-30 mins of light cardio ^_^

nutrition wise i think i'm doing pretty good! i've been going strong with my 1800cal goal, i've actually been eating a few hundred less than that the past week so i'm going to eat a little more today to even it out. it's important to give my muscles proper fuel so they can grow!! i've been craving fruits, veggies, lean proteins and all that more often, and i've been eating them more often too which feels great. i've been a lot more selective about when i choose to enjoy things like cookies or cake, actually paying attention to whether i'm hungry for it or i'm just eating it out of habit, and that's a huge step in progress for me! so proud of myself. i brought frozen grapes to the movies cause that's what i was hungry for and enjoyed them alongside some of my mom's popcorn which was actually a very tasty combo :)

so yeah, everything's going good so far. ive been very excited, happy with my progress, really the part where i'd say i'm struggling most is some impatience about wanting to see results already :P trying my best not to think about that so the time passes faster haha.

1800cals a day going strong! did 20 minutes of stretches yesterday and went on a 30 min walk today :) crushed my protein goal too! i'm very proud of myself.

i've got a lot of good news today.

for one, i weighed in and i'm down to 195!! that made me really happy, i've been stuck at 197-198 for so long.

and last night i went to this restaurant i almost always end up overeating at to the point of feeling sick afterwards...and i had normal portions!! ahh!! didn't go back for seconds or anything, i put a reasonable amount on my plate and ate it and that was it. and i felt a normal, comfortable level of full afterwards! i'm so proud of myself.

and this morning i went to my usual gym class and ended up doing way more than my instructor expected i could do!! more than i expected i could do, honestly! I'm getting stronger every week.

all in all, it's a good day to be in recovery :)
