And decades younger
Early 1990’s
I’m turning 50 this year. I want to feel fantastic when I turn 50 in October. I’d like to lose 50 lbs by the time I turn 50 years old. That’s literally 5 pounds a month.
This post is a little glimpse of my weight over the past 30 years. In pictures. The first 20 years of my life I was underweight.. barely ever hitting normal weight on the scale. Then normal weight until my mid to late 20’s. University is where I really struggled. Living in Toronto. I caved under massive amounts of stress and anxiety. I had really bad OCD and SAD. Emotional eating, binge drinking, bulemia. When I turned late 20’s-to-early 30’s the weight came on very gradually but it came nonetheless. I walked and biked everywhere so it stayed fairly under control.
While not a perfect weight,
I was pretty happy being this size.
Curvy but (usually) healthy.
I’d be pretty happy to get to and stay here forever.
Me at my highest weight range.
Unhealthy. Uncomfortable. Unhappy.
Well, unhappy about how I feel & look.
My weight has yo-yo’d about 50 lbs due to binge eating, drug side effects, and chronic health issues.
My never-ending journey to get health and stay healthy.
