7 Ugly Truths of Becoming Skinny After Being Fat
I lost 70+ lbs, it’s great, but it’s not all that glamorous
In a year, I did the impossible, I went from 213lbs to 140 lbs (from 96kg to 63kg) which means going from 32.8 BMI to 21.3 for my 5'8 (173cms) height.
Now I am at the weight I always wanted to maintain, I can see that I am far from perfect, and it takes a lot of mental strength to accept that I will never be. I am not as toned as I want to (I’m working on it), my skin will never be as firm as a teenager’s (yeah, who told me that it was a realistic expectation to start with), my body is still my 42-year-old body (and there’s nothing to do about it).
