Content Data

This page contains data entry 83436 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

You have it 100% right. Lost 100 pounds about 17 years ago. Am still a size 2 and the 'biggest' I've been is a 4 being tight. I don't weigh myself, I go by how certain clothes fit. People ask "omg what's your secret" so excitedly whenever this comes up. It's like watching a balloon deflate when I tell them well, I picked one thing at a time that was awful for me to reduce or get rid of.

First I stopped drinking 2L of soda a day. Then I stopped eating a family sized bag of chips as a meal\*. Then I went from a gallon of milk a day, to 2 gallons of week. I just did that with every single food, slowly. Once I was used to less of something, I turned my focus to another thing and went from there. Exercise came later, I got into DDR about halfway through. I think I was 170 or so at the time. I didn't get back into outdoorsmanship until I was much smaller. Elevation, asthma, and weight just didn't mix for me. People wanted to hear some magic formula where it was easy and there were no changes or work. They don't care when I say "well I still eat chips and ice cream, just not as every meal". The minute it took a period of concentrated effort, they were out. NOW, I said people. I didn't say large people. Thin people react the exact same way when this conversation happens. Our diet culture has drilled this idea into people (of all sizes) that if you get fat eating yummy nummies, don't worry! A pill, shake, or magic fix will be along to save you. And then you can go right back to what you were doing before...right?

The day I realised "diets" don't work and "lifestyle changes" do? Game changer.

\*I didn't grow up with parents so most of my meals were bags of chips + half a gallon of milk or Thanksgiving serving bowls of cereal.
