How Ironic I Gave Up Trying To Lose Weight and....

Post Reply New Topic

I was debating whether or not to put this is the dating forum or here because I'm sure my dating life will go the same way as this!

Essentially, last year I decided I needed to stop my steady increase in weight because a few family members are morbidly obese and all were skinny as teenagers like me. I certainly wasn't fat but I was getting a little chunky. Last year I was at 225 lbs and no matter how much I tried, I couldn't seem to lose more than a pound or two here and there.

I stopped thinking about it and recently checked my weight as my mother told me she was worried I was losing too much weight too quickly. I had no idea why she would say such an irrational thing because I might have lost 5-10 or so I thought. There's nothing medically wrong with me so I checked the scales and was shocked to discover in just 4 months I'm down to 193lbs and that's on top of the increase in muscle mass! I literally had no intention of losing weight but here I am losing 33 lbs in 4 months. What did I do differently? I joined an Ultimate Frisbee league on top of hockey and thanks to a stomach virus, my appetite was curtailed a bit and I never completely regained it. Other than that, I haven't changed a thing. After all, you know how important routines are to us Aspies!

How ironic how losing weight was my special interest and it didn't happen yet when I stopped trying and thinking about it I got instant results! I still have the same terrible Bachelor's diet too yet the pounds keep melting off. Now, if I can get my mind off of getting a woman I suppose that will be next... I hope!

Good luck! How exciting to be losing that weight finally. And I hope the woman comes next...

I've started working out again recently. Lifting weights really shot up my metabolism, because I'm 20 pounds lighter and it's only been a month.
