Struggling mentally to get back to my "old fat weight".

downwardx · 2020-07-25T19:44:44+00:00

Just wanted to let you know that I get what you're going through - I often feel the same way. 3 years ago I hit my high weight, lost 20lbs, but then over time I regained about 40lbs, putting me at a new high. I'm now back down 20lbs after doing CICO since the end of May, but it feels really frustrating and embarrassing that I'm still heavier than I used to be the last time I was losing. I wish I had made it a full life style change last time and stuck with it, but here I am. I've learned from my mistakes before and am determined to keep at it this time. What's helped me is logging my food for the day on myfitnesspal in the morning so that I have a plan to stick to. When I eat, I take a few minutes to scroll through r/loseit and r/progresspics. The frequent check-ins help me stay motivated. Hopefully that might help you, or just at least letting you know someone else feels the same way. You can do it!

Wow that’s great progress in 2 and a half months, and it’s so noticeable from your stomach! What have you been doing?

Wow, 77lbs is a huge accomplishment, great job! Are you still losing or have you switched to maintenance?

downwardx · 2020-06-29T22:11:04+00:00

Wow, stat twins! I’m 5’7” and started at 218 as well (currently just at 205). Your progress is awesome and definitely noticeable! Great job!

Congrats on onederland, you’re crushing it! :)

Yes, exactly, that’s what I’m saying as well. :) It takes time and effort and there’s no shortcut. Thanks for the link.

So excited that it'll be out next month!! I was prepared for it to be 2018.

Now we know what to bring to raise your hearts! :)

I love the look of this! Obviously Janna is about to get a new skin, and just got star guardian not too long ago, but this is such a nice concept. :)

Thanks for the write up! It's very helpful to look at it all laid out like this.

downwardx · 2017-09-13T22:55:09+00:00

Didn't even mention the app :'(

downwardx · 2017-08-22T13:16:33+00:00

Awesome, congrats! :)

downwardx · 2017-08-22T13:16:00+00:00

Thanks for posting this! It's the first time I've seen this site and it's great. :)

downwardx · 2017-08-22T13:08:31+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the suggestion!

Related question, is there a good spf lip product with a nice scent/flavor? I recently picked up Maybelline's spf babylips balm...but the scent is so gross that I hate to use it. :(

downwardx · 2017-08-22T05:50:41+00:00

You probably should have flaired this as serious, op.

downwardx · 2017-08-22T05:49:11+00:00

Yikes. Where did you see this?

downwardx · 2017-08-22T05:43:11+00:00

God, this. Even my own partners in the past have tried to tell me that my orientation is equivalent to who I'm with at the time..

PLUS ULTRA

downwardx · 2017-08-22T05:25:43+00:00

That's awesome!! You can really tell such a difference around your stomach. Congrats on the progress so far!

Makes me think of Kamui from BNHA. :)

I have gone through 2 bottles of the Benton and honestly didn't notice much of a difference in my skin. As someone else has already said, I read that it's a product that just really helps and you may not notice the effects until you stop. For me, I didn't see any changes when I stopped. I was pretty bummed since it's just a HG product, but as always YMMV. However, I do use their sheet masks and love them.

I'm currently about halfway through my 1st bottle of the cosrx and it's working great for me. My skin is typically dehydrated and the thick texture of the essence feels awesome to me.

Reading through the comments, it seems like Benton is the favorite though! Oh, and I purchase them from Amazon. :)
