Y'all, 10 lbs isn't a lot but it means so much to me. I've never stuck to a regimen this long or seen any results, and all I'm really doing is counting calories and exercising a little.
I think what really changed is my perspective. Instead of restricting in order to punish myself (which would always lead to bingeing), I'm eating well and exercising in order to care for myself. That shift was HUGE. Took years of therapy and introspection honestly. Sounds counter-intuitive, but I actually had to start loving myself and accepting where I am in life to start making changes.
CICO has also been crazy helpful. I always thought counting calories would suck the joy out of food, but it's actually helped me break all these moral connections to food - this food is bad, this food is good, I'm being bad for eating this, etc.... with CICO, it's all just math. I can still totally have the foods I love, I just budget for it.
Anyway just want to thank everyone here for sharing their stories, they've been a HUGE help to me. Also I really encourage everyone should get therapy, whether you think you need it or not!
