i have a huge addiction to pastries and that kind of sweet breads that have controlled my health my whole life but i finally feel like i'm in control

my biggest motivator was the possibility of getting diabetes type 2 which sounded very real the more i stayed like that. i'm shit scared of diabetes and it's something i don't desire for myself and that i can avoid

i'm not disabled i'm perfectly average in that sense so pushing myself into the chance of a metabolic syndrome is just. dumb... like i get it this was all addiction + coping mechanism learned through my whole life but i'm my own therapist here and i have to get my shit together

i'm aware this doesn't apply to anyone else, applies to me since i'm also kinda neurotypical etc idk all the boring stuff

good job!

CeyahWolfsong: thank u friend

Congratulations!! Thats fantastic!

dang that's still tough, congratulations for accomplishing that

it's amazing how much one type of food alone can sometimes sabotage us, i had to lose weight for a surgery in my teens and switching from regular soda to diet was all i needed to drop like 30 pounds

nightlocke: ty!!

superfine: Thanks! Also yes, in the end it's all about the way we eat and what we eat... The brain says one thing but you can end up understanding that our bodies don't need that much food/certain shit foods. first world problems 😭😭
