Day 02/30 Losing 115 pounds changed my body, but it didn’t automatically change my relationship with food. For a long time, I thought my struggle with food was something I had left behind when I lost the weight. I thought if I could lose 115 lbs, maintain a healthier lifestyle, exercise regularly, and become the person I wanted to be physically, then I had obviously “fixed” the problem. Years later, I’m realizing it was never that simple. The loss of control around food that contributed to my original weight gain didn’t necessarily disappear just because my body changed. And experiencing those same patterns again has forced me to look at something I probably should have understood a long time ago: weight loss and your relationship with food are not the same problem. So this part of my journey isn’t just about losing weight, getting stronger, eating healthier, or becoming more disciplined. It’s about understanding my behavior around food, getting out of the all-or-nothing cycle, rebuilding consistency, and figuring out what a genuinely healthy relationship with food looks like for me long-term. I lost the weight. Now I’m learning how to live after the weight loss. Day 2 of rebuilding myself after losing 115 lbs. 🌻 If you’ve gone through major weight loss, struggled with binge eating or loss of control around food, or found that maintaining weight loss brought up challenges you never expected—I’d really like to hear what that experience has been like for you.
