keto.fresh.food "🇬🇧 My weight loss journey is a rocky road to balance. Finding a weight where you feel good, become happy when you look in the mirror but can also really enjoy life 🥳🍔 In the first photo I was at my biggest but for the first time I managed to accept myself. I really didn't feel fit at this weight tho. In the middle photo I was super happy with how I looked but I ate far too little and I was obsessed with losing weight. In the last picture (toady) I am happy, I enjoy life. I eat healthy but don't hold back when I go out for dinner or something. I exercise to build strength and condition but don't beat myself up if I skip a day 😅 I always made the mistake of comparing myself to my best shape. I didn’t think about the fact that I was super unhappy back then and just wanted that shape back. Now I look at the bigger picture. When I see these pics next to each other and think about where I come from I can only be super proud! 🥰 ___ ☘ 𝖎𝖋 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖉𝖔𝖓'𝖙 𝖐𝖓𝖔𝖜 𝖍𝖔𝖜 𝖙𝖔 𝖌𝖊𝖙 𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖙𝖊𝖉 ☘ 👇 👇 👇 ☘ Get 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 the 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐈𝐍 𝐁𝐈𝐎 @keto_diet_recipe_ ☘ ___ #ketosnacks #extremeweightloss #transformations #ketoworks #ketorecipe #slimmingworldlife #ketogeniclife #ketodietchallenge #ketoforlife #caloriecounting #healthychoises #healthysnackideas #slimmingworldsupport #nonscalevictory #wlsstrong" (at USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZxDPyXvUR9/?utm_medium=tumblr
Im feeling very unmotivated.
I have definetly gained weight during quaratine. I have gotten back to the gym but I’m still feeling bad about weight loss.
Ive been trying to be better about snacking and making healthy meals (god bless Hello Fresh) but idk what else to be doing?
Anyone else feeling the struggle?
Had the gastric sleeve done on October 5th 2017 lost 105 pounds! (: I’m proud of myself this isn’t the “easy way out” as people put it! I struggle every day to eat and I keep it down even tho I’m 1 year and 9 months out! It was rough but I would honestly do it all over again as it did save my life and made me healthier! (: also this surgery does not & I repeat does not cure food addiction!
Putting it together
If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know that I’ve been really struggling to lose weight this past year. I couldnt seem to get out of a 3 lb range no matter what I did. No matter how hard I worked. I kept blaming it on a weight plateau, that I will eventually get over. A year later, I’m still at the same weight. I started to do some trial and error with my diet. It didn’t work. So I started reflecting what could’ve changed in the past year and the only connection I could see was that I started birth-control about a year ago. So I went to my doctor and we both decided it be good to get off of birth control and see what the effects are. Unfortunately, this is pretty scary as I have PCOS and birth control helps me maintain some hormone balance. I’m hoping this helps me kickstart my weightloss. I’ll update you (hopefully with some good news) soon!
And if you’ve been following my posts for the past year, you know that I have been struggling with this lack of losing weight a lot mentally and emotionally. I know it’s not all about the scale but to put in so much hard work and not see any improvement at all was really disheartening. It really took a toll on my mental state for months at a time. I’m really hoping that this is the answer I’m looking for.
I lied, here’s a comparison. 2013 vs. 2018. First time I actually like my passport photo
Late night nothings...
Do you have any type of social media outlet that no one knows about?! For me it’s Tumblr.. it’s a nice way to write my truth and get any unbiased opinions and not have to worry about anyone’s feelings... a place I can say what I actually feel and think... a place I can vent without someone getting offended because they are the asshole I’m pissed at... what about you? Do you have a place?
Looking in the mirror at the gym today, I felt so tiny. Honestly, I had to do a double take. Who is that girl? That CANT be me! One of the hardest things about extreme weight loss is not only not recognizing the person in the mirror, but also not recognizing the person in your before pictures. There is a lot of body dysmorphia and asking "who am I?" You are the same person you alway were; you are just more healthy, and maybe a bit more confident. You were always you, now you're just wrapped a little differently. For this who will ask: SW: 286lbs CW: 165lbs GW: 150lbs Surgery date: 12/8/16
