I have 2 cats, one of which has to be on a special diet, so I have to separate them during feedings. If I feed them in different rooms, they won't eat and want to be together, so I have to supervise them.
I've started doing squats while waiting for them to eat in the morning, I'm up to 50 now and my *kitten* is looking perkier!36 -

In this context... that was a little confusing at first.16 -
I'm here to post my very first Non Scale Victory...
No More Food Addicition!!!
This is a HUGE HUGE deal for me. This advancement has changed my life.
I know that this is for real because of how long it's held out and to what extreme! (2 months and counting and 3 major life events as well as a minor depression caused by stress which should have derailed me).
Using this weekend as an example... I've eaten out at "all you can eat sushi" twice in the past 3 days and I did NOT overeat!!!!! I'm so proud of myself! I ate slowly and savoured what I normally wolf down and I ate within my carb/calorie limite. Not only that, I wasnt cranky because I had to watch the people around me eat whatever they wanted and I had limited myself, not to what I COULD, eat but to what I should reasonably eat.
Also, I had a birthday without needing or wanting a dessert, spent 2 weeks in France and 2 weeks in the USA without gaining a thing and just spent the weekend away for my wedding anniversary without ever going over my goals.
I feel that I've FINALLY conquered my decade long battle with bad food psychology. I've yo-yo dieted for years. I've abstained and then BINGED, lost 20lbs and then gain back 30 and I've done that so many times that I thought there was no hope of ever finding a balance.
If I was an animal, the vet would have said that I have food agression. (I hated having to share and LOVED eating as much as I could as often as possible and being the first one served at functions that had lots of people and included food). My life has revolved around food for so long that I don't remember there ever being a time when I didn't wake up and wonder "what will I eat for lunch today?" I used food to validate my achievements and drown my sorrows, to celebrate life events and to stave off boredom.
I would get bitter and resentful if I had to say no to something because I was "dieting", and when I was binging, I would eat foods I didn't even like (ie a full bag of candy) just because I could! Now I say no all the time because I know how to listen to my body and realize that I just don't want it.
I've been slowly losing weight for the past 3 months. I've still got a LONG way to go, but food no longer consumes my thoughts or affects my emotions and that is the BEST thing that could ever have happened to me.
If you have similar experience to share, feel free to message or add me anytime!
Thank you for this message board! I find it uplifting and powerful and love to read it (though this is my very first time posting!)45 -
Ran 10km without water for the first time today.17

I’m wearing a pair of size 36 chinos right now that I hadn’t put on in over 5 years, and were tighter than they feel now when I bought them 7 years ago.
Feels good. Feels damn good.
I think they’re my largest fitting 36, I tried on a pair of 36 Khakis too, and they were too snug.27 -
I've only just begun, it'll be a month on the 24th, but my waist has a small indent in it, where it had been even (or round I should say), and I feel stronger.25

went to brunch today with my friends and they kept saying how great I looked and how tiny I was. I was like "yeah, ok sure. thanks." We went shopping after and I tried on some pants. My friends were picking out 6s and 4s. I thought they were crazy. Size 4. they fit. I noticed a lot of my pants were getting too big, some 6 and some 8, but I didn't think I was a size 4. I thought 8. I have been in complete denial about my weight loss and size and it took trying on some pants I thought would never fit to finally acknowledge my accomplishment! Holy crap did I feel like hot *kitten* today lol32

Hiking in the mountains and jumping off of this bench so my husband can get an action shot of me! My favorite part is me landing and not breaking, rupturing, tearing something which I’m prone to do.
Defying the odds and feeling amazing!

My family and I did our monthly 5K Saturday after 4 months of heat-related retirement. My 2 year old did the 1K kids fun run, and I jogged along with her. She was definitely the littlest runner, quite possibly the youngest, and she ran almost the whole way and did not come in last. (I'd be proud of her finishing no matter what, TBH!). I put her in the stroller for my 5K and shaved a full 15 minutes off of last year's pace (where I was dead last, go me). I actually ended up doing a 7K because I went back on the course to meet my husband and sister in law to join them for their finish. I am so PROUD of my whole family, from Little Bit's joy at running a serious distance for a toddler, to my Husband, Big Girl, and Sister in Law for joining in and doing their best. Big Girl, who walked with me, was actually 2nd in her age group! I'm also proud of myself for jogging along with Little Bit, having been told I'd never run due to my OA. It was a great day for the whole family.27

I'm smaller. Not sure how or why, weight is the same, measurements are the same, but clothes are getting bigger and things fit better. There's no rhyme or reason to it (unless one of you wonderful people can explain?). Also my 1 year anniversary is coming up and that means I've logged daily for a year! Oh, and I ordered jeans size 33 in the H&M sales, they came, were way too big, so ordered size 31, they came, were way too big, and ordered them in a 29 and they fit well! Who'd had thunk it?16
