I have been a member of a a website since June. Its focus is beauty, but really it is about weight loss and extreme dieting. I have posted a ton of "thinspo", thin inspiration, and am really finding it a welcoming place.
Today is the first day of a two week mini weight loss competition. We have four groups with 3 people each. Our team has decided that we are going to restrict as much as possible and get in as much exercise as we can. Some teams have chosen to include purging, laxatives, fasts, etc. I am glad my team isn't doing any of those.
So far today has been really good. I have eaten an apple, some cauliflower and a cup of soup. I am surprised I am not hungry at all. Actually quite the opposite, food is revolting at the moment. I don't know where this came from but I am definitely not complaining.
This past year has been a binge marathon. I have gained about 40 lbs in a year. I hit my highest weight ever in May and was devastated. At the time I was dieting and exercising and still gaining weight. Turns out I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome and it had gone way awry. My doctor put me on Metformin, a med usually used for diabetes, and then I stopped gaining weight and was actually able to lose weight with proper eating and exercise. Since May I have only lost 17 lbs, 7 of that in September. I am hoping to lose 13 lbs by Halloween...or more if possible. Thirteen at the minimum.
Next weekend I have to go home for Thanksgiving...it is going to be tough to stay on track because my mom is always baking and cooking. That is how she shows her love. Refusing food is like rejecting her so it can be a really touchy subject.
Hopefully with the support of the two other girls in my group it will be a piece of cake...not literally of course.
Have a great day and stay safe.
