I (23F) hit my goal weight about five months ago (123lbs) through CICO. Since then I've pretty much just been doing intuitive eating based off what I learned from CICO, with some mild tracking here and there. I don't have some inspirational story where I lost 100+lbs, just needed to lose that Freshmen 15 from college that lingered a few years too long.
Since the gyms closed down, I've been doing at-home workouts including yoga and C25K, and they've been going really well for me. My body's been changing a lot because of it. So even if I didn't necessarily look much thinner before, now it's really starting to show.
My mom noticed about a month ago and complimented me. It was very sweet. My dad on the other hand....
Well he called me fat. Not the now-me, but the me from before. He laughed and said I was "a big chunker" and called me a "fatty."
I'm not necessarily hurt or discouraged by it. He's known for saying things that...don't really benefit the conversation at all. He's not abusive by any means, just misguided and stuck in his ways. I know he's proud of me (he's a BIG runner, and the fact that I'm running now after years of pushing it away is very exciting to him), but I just wish his way of showing his pride wasn't by calling me "a fatty."
Like, what about a "good job"? Is that too much to ask?
