Hello hello hello hello! I have for the most part avoided this thread but am now nervously and hesitantly here to join you.
I have always struggled with disordered eating and a hyper focus on trying to have an āathleteās bodyā but since covid, an injury, and over eating in sobriety I have gained a lot of weight. Trying to address my relationship with food over the past year I have had to just let it be and avoided the scale.
My pre op physical in June before meniscus surgery I was shocked to see I had jumped up to 208 lbs. Early September my therapist that Iāve been working on my eating disorder with gave me the clear to try to start losing weight again but I have to be really careful to not slip back into old disordered habits.
I only do weigh ins once a week on Thursdays. Last week was down to 201 lbs! Trying to not get too excited or obsessive but letting myself have this small victory.
Thank you Eric! I am happy someone has noticed. Thanks for being apart of my journey
Thank you Shaunda
Quit drinking 78 days ago. Also started eating healthier. I didnāt weigh in til a month in, and was down to 180 from 195! I had started to work out so I was thrilled it seemed to be paying off! Then every week since has been the same, lowest I got down to was 177, now back up to 180 and Iām thinking I have plateued. The weight I lost was probably all just alcohol chub, so I donāt think working out is making me lose more. Which means I need to really take the healthy eating more serious, or need to run to sweat harder. LoL I went for a mile jog to sweat, and gave myself shin splints
Slowing my role, because losing weight wasnāt the goal just a healthy side effect, happy to be healthier than I was drinking!!!
Checking in 175.6 !
I am happy. I canāt wait till I reach my goal. I am 10 pounds away from my original goal (165) but I want to reassess it when I hit it . I gotta keep moving and keep working out ! Iāll talk to you later, letās do it! Letās keep up the good work
200.2 lbs.
So close to being under 200.
I want to get back to 195/96/97
Need the wiggle room to stay under 200.
You got this Eric!! you are doing great! I know that it is hard when you are not at your goal. I hope you get there! I know you will!
Monday weigh in:
Down 5.4lb since last week! Some of this again is probably water weight but definitly some isnt. I have busted my butt this past week on 5 days of challenging exercise as well as making sure I follow my eating plan every single day. Ive even had a cheat snack that my hubby bought me. He bought me a Klondike Icecream cookie sandwich (normally a whopping 400 calories a sandwich). Instead of eating the entire thing for a snack, I cut it in 1/2. Had 1/2 on Saturday night and 1/2 on Sunday night. I wouldve never done this before. Ive been eating mindfully and I just really watch HOW MUCH I eat and plan my meals in the morning. That way I know how much of something I can eat to fit into my calorie goals for the day. Happy with my progress so far! Im really hoping that my change of thinking towards food stays on track. Its been hard this past week but very rewarding. And the rewards are not even all to do with the number on the scale
200.lbs On The Nosy!!
Now to work on the wiggle room.
195/96/97. I find it a good way to maintain.
173 today. I am loving this ! 8 pounds until my first goal but once I hit that goal I am going to reassess it and try to go down some more. I am worthy and loved. Have a great healthy day you guys
200.6 lbs.
I really thought Iād be in the upper 190ās today. Oh well. Seems like thatās always the way. Sometimes when I think Iām up and over Iām surprised when itās under. I know Iām good enough. So Iāll take it.
Back here in this thread after a 5 month break. I started my weight loss journey with my sober journey last Jan. I did so well for 3 months but then work got extremy busy in a great way but my diet and exercise went out the window. I have ate all the bad stuff just to get me through. I figured sobriety took priority over anything else.
Anyway, things have started to settle again so sober, work good and calmer , now ive no excuses not to look at diet and exercise.
Started with workout today and healthy food shop arriving later. Dreading getting on the scales but it has to be done x
- Lbs
Canāt seem to get under. But thatās ok. Itās all good.
Well i cant believe it. After dreadiing the scales I am 16 pounds lighter than the last weigh in back in Feb. So despite losing my way on the weight loss journey i still dropped without knowing it. (I have a lot to loose) yay for sobriety weight loss. I now want to lose enough to actually notice and get back to a healthy weight. Today is a good day
200.4 lbs.
really wanted to be under 200. But I guess Iāll be satisfied where I am. Because I am in a good place.
I swear I felt fat and that I gained weight and didnāt want to get on the scale today. Almost blew it off.
197.8 lbs
I lost weight
Last couple of weeks I was sure I was loosing weight and gained. Go figure?
Iām glad I kept myself accountable today.
176.25lb this morning. Thatās 20lb lost since I quit drinking!
