16 month Success Story - What I learnt

Over the past 16 months I have lost and then regained around 25kg (45ish lbs. thats a guess).
These are the things I learnt over my journey

- weight loss is addictive
- you can have a "fat day" at a size 4 and a "skinny day" at a size 12
- when skinny 3 or 4 times a day strangers will yell out of cars/at the store/at work compliments/pick up lines
- when overweight quality people that actually matter will give you real compliments
- when you don't eat and get consumed by food and exercise your life sucks
- weight loss destroys relationships
- if you dont get your period for 6 months and your hair falls out, maybe you're healthy lifestyle really isn't all that healthy
- throwing up does not make you lose weight it just makes you cry
- buy clothes for the size you ARE, don't wait until you're your ideal size and don't wait until you fit back into your old clothes
- boys don't like it when your hip bones are sharp and stab them in the stomach
- boys do like when you have boobs
- eating frequently reduces binges
- friends and family like you better when you are out having fun than being scared of social events due to the food involved
- scales simply measure the pull of gravity on your body
- confidence and honest happiness increase your attractiveness and how people relate with you more so than weight loss






I hope some people learn my lessons through this post instead of the hard way
