In 2011/2012, I lost a considerable amount of weight (close to eighty pounds). It was an incredible experience. I never realized how strong/capable I was, and I was so proud of my progress. At the end of 2012, I faced serious burnout. I was binging and just not being very kind to myself. The whole time I was losing weight, I was doing too much of everything. Obviously when something isn't sustainable, it's easy for the foundation to collapse. And I did. Hard.
In 2013, I moved to a new state with my boyfriend, found a new job and now that everything has settled (wow, it took a long time), I've gained a bit of weight back... but I'm ready.
I think I needed to fail in order to understand that getting healthy isn't just for a year or two while I lose all the weight and then going back to my old habits. This is lifelong. I am definitely proud of my first attempt at weight loss, but this is for the long haul. This is for me.
I'm looking for folks who are interested in keeping each other motivated. Feel free to send me a friend request.
Thanks!
