6 year before and after
I struggled heavily with binge eating due to trauma and reached nearly 400 lbs. It almost hard to believe that's really me in the bottom picture. I barely even recognize myself. I'm not ugly or bad looking or anything, but I just see how much I struggled and how badly I needed the friends I have now.
My process was honestly just CICO. I understood from previous attempts to lose this that at my weight, I just needed to eat a little less than I usually do and move more. I danced when I could, walked, and weaned myself off larger portions.
When I moved into a new environment, I was finally able to start walking way more and did this along with portion control on my meals and finding what works for my body to stay satiated and stay in a deficit. I have now started trying bodyweight fitness. Tbh, I didn't even notice I lost weight at all and still saw myself as the bottom picture until recently. I'm still struggling to catch up to how I look now lol 😭
