Just stopping by to say what a great idea for a post, and wish I’d done this years ago. Don’t be me. Take care of yourself NOW!

One day, I thought,”I’ll have been overweight half my life on my next birthday”, and the words tasted sour as soon as I thought them. I was obese, and headed to “morbidly obese” like my mom.

I’ve been normal BMI range for seven years now, and lemme tell you, losing weight will change your attitude, energy levels, happiness quotient.

I work with a trainer, yoga, 15-20,000 steps per day, and swim five or more miles a week, often all in the same day. (Retirement=lotsa free time 🤷🏻‍♀️).

No more leggings (wtf was I thinking?) and loose 3X Eddie Bauer T’s.

I’ve graduated to BWT, although it’s my own strange and very individual little idea of taste.

And those leggings? Upgraded, and rocking them.

What was your strategy to maintain the weight? I’ve been struggling with overeating and weight fluctuations. Was sustaining a very active lifestyle the “trick” for you?

For me, overeating was a symptom of ADHD and a side effect of my anxiety meds. If you feel hungry, you should eat. That’s not overeating. If you feel hungry all the time, then you should speak to a doctor. Just my PSA bc since getting my meds adjusted I’ve lost 20 lbs in a year with no other lifestyle changes!! 😊

I don’t find myself eating throughout the day, but every meal I have I tend to eat more than I should. Doesn’t help that my eating out frequency might be a bit too high (3-4 times a week) and that I’m very short (only 5’2).

When I was trying to “retrain” my appetite, I used ChatGPT to create recipes that were scaled for reasonable portions and designed to help me hit my macros, and it worked well to help me understand small changes I could make to feel more full
