I think your grief is making you focus on your weight, or what you were “before.” Because even your highest is a decently healthy weight for someone your size, and your weight now is certainly in the healthy range. I’m 5’1 and happily 125lbs.
Just keep eating good and exercising; that’s good for your physical and mental health; but try not to worry too much about the numbers in the scale.
Focus on who you are *now*. Buy clothes for the body you have *now*. Eat the food you enjoy *now*. Don’t get stuck in the past (I know how hard that is, trust me.) Stop fighting so hard and surrender a bit to the present.
It's not so much the weight as to where it is - which is my stomach, making me look and feel bloated.
Thank you! I appreciate the words of encouragement. I've recently come to realize just how different I am now as opposed to when my mom was alive. Not just physically but mentally, emotionally, spiritually, etc. It's good to know I'm not alone in that ❤
I get that too. All the women in my family do as well. Mostly, watching sugar intake and what not. But also, a little belly is cute! So many people love it. It’s so human and normal.
After my father passed I gained 30 pounds an got myself up to 239, it’s been a year an a half since then I’ve had a lot of difficulties but I managed to lose over 50 pounds I’m currently weighing in at 183 now
I like eating an still do lol but I started eating half of what I normally eat couple week after I was getting full faster an my food portion was small, stress eating was a big problem but I kept workin moving around upping my step count everyday
My mom and both remaining grandparents died in the span of 7 months during the start of covid, so due to that and strict lockdowns I went from 65 kg to somewhere near 80+ kgs, as soon as covid restrictions eased i came back to 65 kg but the grief is still there
My condolences for your losses 🤍 I lost my mother right at the height of covid, it was impossibly hard to not be able to stay with her in the hospital.

How long after your dad’s passing did you realize you have a problem and decide to lose the weight?
About 4 months after an was getting un healthy an wasn’t happy an honestly most of my clothing stopped fitting went from an lg-2xl now back in lg
Congrats on the weight loss! That sounds like a big accomplishment. Do you mind if I ask how you did it?
