jcoreetsy's Journal, 21 Dec 16

In November I became incredibly stressed with the election results and internal, personal struggles. This resulted in a complete loss of appetite and obsessive exercising (because running was the only thing that subsided the anxiety).

I began losing weight rapidly - clearly not in a healthy way - and chose to use that as the catalyst to get my body in shape. I gave myself a goal of losing 10 pounds by my office's holiday party (December 8) and I did it. I wore an XS Ralph Lauren dress, and I felt great about myself.

In the weeks since, I've gone through a separation from my spouse and have moved into my own place. It's been a tumultuous time emotionally and healthy eating/exercising hasn't been my top concern. That being said, I weighed myself for the first time in a couple of weeks this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see that I haven't gained any weight.

I've gone down a couple of pant/dress sizes and am happy with my body right now, though my goal is to lose another 5 pounds and sit comfortably at 125. I'm 5'3" so that's a reasonable goal. I'm hoping I can hit my goal weight by Valentine's Day the latest.
