Soooooo remember I was on a diet? Yeh I know...having to actually adhere to a DS way of eating...shocking! Well in that thread (not this one,that one) I learned that others fought the same disordered brain bogeys that I did. Namely pressured thinking about food, exercise anorexia history and a very great potential to develop an eating disorder, namely anorexia or bulimia.
I discovered that I loved being so thin that people worried about me. On some level it meant that I'd won. I'd destroyed obesity, but at what cost? Along came regain and down went my self esteem.
So after some serious introspection I decided to change my behaviours. I've been low carbing for about a month and a bit I think?... I've also been doing Metafit classes every other day and weight lifting when I can be arsed. This brings my daily exercise to a controlled 45mins max per day. Remember I used to work out up to 6hrs a day once upon a time.
As for weight loss...I have a healthy BMI of 24 a 28inch waist and less then 17% body fat or 10kgs. I decided to gain muscle and be fit rather than diet to a tiny size. In so doing I've lost about 1.8kgs over this time. This isn't a lot of weight loss but my clothes are comfortable and my brain is comfortable and I look like I could hold my own in a pub brawl.
I am hesitant to say this but I think I'm on an even keel. If this is maintenance than it is pretty good to me. I'm starting my level two fitness instructor training in August then hope to train to teach Metafit offshore to my beautiful people. If I get my croft house (Scottish farm) then I'll be grafting keeping it going as well.
The future is bright people. If I can do this then every single person reading this can too. Truly I was so close to being physically disabled before my surgery and now....shiiiittttttt. Well there you are.
Right work to do. Xx
Edited because I can't cope outside of metric and have the reading comprehension of a beet root.
