I’m no longer obese- I’m just overweight.

r/

I’ve been struggling with my weight for years. I used to be skinny. I hated being fat. I hated how people looked at me. I hated the comments they made. I hated the chub rub. I even hated that I hated it, because it’s hypocritical- on other people, I don’t care…in fact, fat girls have always been my type, even when I was twiggy. I guess on some people it looks good, but I’m not one of them.

This year, I decided I was going to lose the weight, no matter what. I went to the gym, but that didn’t really work. I ended up realizing I needed to change my diet, esp my addiction to soda. I started drinking sugar-free flavored sparkling waters instead…and as it turns out, I’m sensitive to some ingredients, and they make me poop like it’s my job.

I was a 201lb in January, at 5’6″. Today, less than 5 months later, I weigh 178.5, and dropping. I expect I’ll be skinny again by next January, and that makes me happy.

That is all, thank you.

    Good work. If you have the spare $ for a consult I’d check in with a (reputable ) dietician. Some minor tweaks to how you eat (vs what you eat) can have an impact as well.

    Going through the same thing also to an extent. I’m down 40lbs. My boyfriend lost 50lbs. He was around 209 now he’s like 156(?) something like that. You got it dude!

    Awesome job. I don’t pay much attention to what BMI scale says I went from 275 to the 160s because I’m 5’3 I’m still in the obese category but my Dr says I’m healthy that’s what matters. It’s not easy it was a long road.

    It’s such a good feeling to just ‘feel’ lighter. You’ll be more active. I’m so proud of you and you should take a moment to be proud of yourself. Changing diets is extremely difficult and you need a strong will.

    Keep going on your personal journey. Well done!!!
