F38/5'8" SW: 400+/CW: 348/GW: Healthy.
I went to Walmart and left with jeans that fit. Do they look GREAT? Oh, hell no. But I needed jeans for work, I got jeans.
I've literally not worn jeans in easily 7 years. I had some jeggings a few years ago but I out grew them. I just don't wear pants (which works, I love wearing dresses). 8 years ago I was a bigger 3X (all lower gut), but a fairly active person who didn't need specialty shop sizes. January 1st I finally got the courage (and a proper scale) and found myself at 396lbs, wearing a 5X. I think I was a bit over 400 before that. There's been some bumps (my father died in May after a lengthy period on hospice in my home) but I've been determined recently and am now under 350 (348 this morning!).
I'm just doing CICO and giving a shit. I do things like drink water and don't eat garbage. At the beginning of August I got the whole family to agree to dedicated healthy eating (roommate down 15, oldest down 20+, youngest down 5). I meal plan weekly and the house is completely free of junk. I don't eat anything with added sugar and have cut sugar replacements. I'm not doing keto or carb restriction, but if I eat carbs it's brown rice, quinoa, or something damn delicious (I had a BK spicy chicken last night and fml was it worth it).
That's a big difference right there. The last seven years, I would have large-sized that meal and had it whenever I wanted. But I simply can't like that anymore. I move better, my sleep is better, my skin is better, and soon...who knows? Maybe jeans I actually like. Thanks for listening!
