🥲🥰🌹 I was able to attend a potluck bday party on the beach and didn't sabatoge myself!!! I brought meatball sliders (and ate ONE before we left so I wouldn't feel deprived). Then had a chicken leg off the grill. I don't normally drink alcohol, but had a couple last night. Then had a hard boiled egg, fermented veggies, another meatball (just by itself not a slider) and some fruit punch flavored protein powder when I got home. I didn't hit my macros, but I stayed within my calories so I'm considering it a SUCCESS!! *And I put on another .7 pound of muscle over the past week!! 💪 I'm walking more, doing squats and stretching 🤩 I ran into an old acquaintance last night that straight up didn't recognize me and introduced herself wanting to be friends 🤣 It's true I did gain some weight and lose muscle with 2 life changing illnesses, but most of the 80 pounds I put on was due to crippling depression. Yes, I was in therapy. Yes, I was on meds. No, nothing helped. Down at the bottom of that hole was dark, distant and isolating. I stopped being social. The bigger I got the more shame I felt, and the less I interacted with people. Grocery shopping and cooking were not happening. I'd mostly eat what I could get delivered or thru a drive thru -- and I showed. Tough to even write this out and share it on FS. My 10 year journey towards reclaiming my health and physical mobility is the hardest thing I've even done. I lost most of my 40s to illness and clinical depression. I don't want to ever ever ever repeat that. I fight hard everyday to protect my mental health. 💯 I'm about 12 pounds away from my goal, but I can start shifting into more of a maintenance lifestyle. Focusing more on physical activity and building muscle, so I can eat more 🤣😛
