I dunno who else to share this with who would truly understand why i'm tearing up at 5pm on a random monday over being overweight so here i am!

Today, i weigh less than i have in at least 15 years and as cliche as it sounds, i never thought this day would come!

In fact, i distinctly remember having the thought a couple years ago that the best i could hope for for the rest of my life is to not get fatter and now this.. and it feels kinda unreal tbh.

The last few months have been hard as well and i've struggled to stay in deficit and went over more than i would've liked, but i still tracked, i still worked out and tried not to let things go completely and even tho the scale is moving waay too slowly, it's still moving and i'm glad.

I wanna take this chance to say thank you to everyone here who shared their successes and their struggles and their tips and tricks. I've mostly been a lurker but seeing others do this and stick with it day after day has done more to motivate me and keep me going than years and years of nutritionists and fad diets and yoyo-ing and i just really love it here okay!

Summer is coming and i have to face the fact that most of my outside clothes don't fit anymore (woohooo!!). I plan on taking a bunch of stuff to the tailor to get them taken in, but some stuff are too much of a hassle to alter so getting rid of them makes more sense.

My problem is I keep thinking what if i gain the weight back, like yes I put in the work and hope for the best, but that is always a possibility. Also i hope to have kids within the next few years, so some amount of weight gain is inevitable anyway.

Financially, it doesn't make sense to get rid of clothes in good condition now if i know i'll have need of them not too far in the future. But i also don't want to over crowd my closet when i'm also getting things that fit me now

I have 2 hoarder parents and i tend to overcorrect by getting rid of everything that can be done without in the present, so I don't always have a healthy approach when it comes to deciding what to keep and what to throw out.

I'd really appreciate any outside persoective on this! Thanks!
