The silver lining...

...if there HAS to be one, is that I didn't gain.

Three days ago, I decided to bite the bullet and step on a scale. I hadn't done that since well before the holidays. I knew I did a lot of damage, I was just afraid to see exactly how much.

Well, as atrocious as it is, it's not as bad as I thought.

Still nowhere near my comfort zone, but I was relieved to not see the number on the scale that I had visualized in my head.

I'm still disgusted with myself.

So now that I'm officially tracking my numbers again, I am only down 0.5lb in 2 days. Frustrating, and expected, I suppose, since I'm not very active with my fucking injury holding me back. But 0.5lb loss is better than a gain, so if I have to find a silver lining, I suppose that's it.

  2. This lifestyle isn't something I have CHOSEN for myself, more like it chose me. It's not like I just woke up one morning and decided to give it a whirl, it's the culmination of years of deep-rooted issues. That's my motivation - that's how I deal. It's a nightmare, to be honest. If you're not already dealing with any ED-related issues, I would strongly suggest you check out some other type of support system that promotes a healthy lifestyle for weight loss and portion control. Peace, Penny
