Fr, havin my doc actually notice my weightloss felt so rewarding cuz I dropped like 20 lbs since my last visit n both the nurse n the doc were totally hyping me up the whole time, like they seriously asked me what I been doin diff n told me to just keep grindin, n she even wrote in the clinic notes that I made crazy progress which is wild. I already knew it myself n im super proud of the work I put in, but honestly hearin that kinda validation from a literal medical professional jus completely made my week, especially since my scale at home has been lyin to me lately, n idk I just had to share this win with u guys.

I’m reaching a stage where I finally understand (though maybe not through calories) how much food my body really needs each day and it feels SO TINY ;-;. I’m disappointed because I ADORE food. It’s incredibly satisfying. And sharing meals is one of the love languages between me and my partner. But if I want to protect my health I can’t eat that much. It’s a letdown though not a HUGE PROBLEM I guess.

I’m uncertain about CICO / calorie tracking because meals and labels can be inaccurate. Plus I lack any way to measure calories.

Anyway that’s my rant
