X-23 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Hi! So I am super excited because I just took my measurements for the first time since about December 2018... and I've dropped inches in everything I wanted to! I am now down a size in pants and shirts, my coat is buttoning closed, and people (my coworkers and clients) have noticed and complimented me on my weight loss. But the best part? I've been doing it the healthy way without obsessing! I have a history with an eating disorder, so this is HUGE for me. I don't use a scale so I can't tell you how much weight in pounds I've lost (my next weigh in will be around May at the doctor ) but I feel better, am able to do more physically than I have been in a long time (I can hold a plank for 25 seconds now!) and am eating healthier than I have in a long time. Another perk/healthy thing, my insulin levels on getting under control and aren't lightyears out of normal range anymore, they are just slightly elevated. Hopefully with more healthy living they will go down some more to a healthy range! I am just so excited because it's been so hard to see progress. With my history, it's easier to want to go the eating disorder way because you see "results" faster, but I know that this is much healthier and is making me stronger! 2 Quote I am worthy of giving myself fuel to thrive.

"Jake" Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 THis is good. I wouldn't worry too much about the scale. How you look and feel matters more than the numbers on a scale. Sounds like you are on a good path. Quote https://www.nerdfitness.com/character/313374 Link to comment
gorgeousgeek Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Good for you! As a fellow ED sufferer, I can say it's HUGE that you're doing it the healthy way. I have been learning how to let go of obsessing myself! Keep it up! Quote Link to comment
JessFit Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 This is all absolutely amazing! I wish I could hug you. I fought against an ED back in the day and I know how hard it can be to maintain healthy after so long of unhealthy habits. You rock!
