I swear to god, my mental health, self esteem, and confidence are flying to heights not seen since I graduated high school. That may be a low bar to clear, but I cleared it! I still want to lose another 30 pounds to reach my goal weight, but already I no longer feel ashamed when I look at myself naked in the mirror.

Love that! Keep in mind that eating healthy food and exercise have their own benefits that may be contributing to feeling good as well!

Getting enough sleep is similarly amazing. I went decades before fixing my sleep

I’ve gained the weight you lost.

I’ve been going through it lately. I’m having to file a protective order on a stalker 😭

Wow. What are you eating? Antimatter?

20 lbs in two months is roughly 2.5 lbs per week. 1 lb is about 3500 calories, so losing 2.5 lbs per week requires a deficit of 8,750 calories per week, or 1,250 per day. Certainly very difficult and was likely a big lifestyle change, so kudos to cosecantphi for making the effort

Definitely not, a single gram of antimatter would, with one gram of matter, produce 43,000,000,000 calories.
