Using this outdated blogging platform is kind of cute. I used to be an avid poster on here. Rebooting this blog under a discreet name so I can keep track of my diet and weight loss this summer.
Today is the first of June, the first day of a new start. About ten years ago under different circumstances I lost a lot of weight by keeping track of every calorie that passed my lips and writing/posting it online. I'm at an all time high, 89.5 kilos, 197 lbs. I hate even typing out that number but there it is. I'll be going full-blown restriction. <1000 calories every day, aiming for 500-800. My body has been stubborn and held onto a lot of weight from trauma and stress and frankly, laziness. It's time to shed that excess weight now and "become myself". I don't have a weight loss goal, the goal is just to eat as little as possible this summer and see what happens. I'm not entirely convinced my body CAN lose weight, but I've had every blood test imaginable and there's nothing wrong with me (thyroid, hormonal-wise) that could possibly serve as a medical barrier to shedding fat. It's psychological, I really believe that, and it's time to re-engineer my entire mindset. And body. And ergo, soul.
Today is Day 1. Watch this space.
