Take photos!

So I started pushing myself with my bbod workouts at the beginning of July, I went strong 6 days a week for 5 weeks, the scale didn't move much maybe 12lbs but I fluctuate up to 7-8lbs depending on how much water I retain, so I wouldn't think I'd lost much fat, people started commenting to me that I looked thinner especially in my face, tape measure didn't really show any progress either, so I figured eh maybe I'll do a side by side to see if people are just being nice and saying I look thinner. I started around 300lbs I'm around 290ish as of yesterday, I'm 5'6", anywho yep. Definitely a difference on my side by side and face to face. I hadn't watched how much I was eating either, I've battled obsessive compulsive eating disorder for many years, basically I have ocd but it manifests as a binge eating disorder. The last 6 weeks for some reason I decided I needed to put an end to it. I started reminding myself I wasn't really hungry or I had had enough to eat, definitely was most likely still overeating on cals but not by a whole lot from the few days I did track, so today I am 100% tracking every bite and every sip. I've done it before and lost 50lbs in under 3 months just from eating at a deficit and working out a little, I think my tdee was like 2100 or so but I've set my cals to 1500, wont be upset if I go over a little, it happens, can't beat myself up over it, just track and move on.
So my point is since I got way off track lol is make sure you take before and during pics bc when you think nothing's changing, it really is!!
