It has now been 8 weeks since I started my weight loss journey. I started on an incredible high number, with the motivation to lose an insane amount of weight. Luckily, I know to lose it organically, in a healthy way, rather than starving myself and it bouncing back at the least inconvenience.
I adjusted my diet, started moving more within the healthy boundaries of my own physical limitations, and tried staying consistent. That last one is not always easy for people with chronical conditions, where the first sign of stress can cause flare ups making you bedridden for days. But despite extra stress, grief and fear, I have now been able to lose 4kg in 8 weeks time. Fast? No. But organically and real.
Due to prolonged trauma, stress, unhealthy forced habits, injury, genetics and medication, I gained a lot of weight on a very short period of time. From 2019 to 2022 I gained 10kg. From 2022 to 2024 I gained another 25kg. Than in 2026, after twin pregnancy, prolonged stress, hormones, trauma and rapid deteriating physical issues, I gained another 10kg. In an even shorter amount of time than before. I wasn't happy anymore. I disliked my body, how I looked, how I felt, how others looked at me, ... I decided I wanted to lose weight for a number of reasons. To feel pretty, to have less flaring up symptoms related to dragging along tens of unnecessary kgs, to be more mobile, to finally fit in cute clothes, ... So, I gave myself 2 years to get to my goal weight.
And this is the first 8 weeks of them!
