I’ve been losing weight for the last month. I gained weight from a culmination of pandemic/ moving countries and setting up a business. It was a continuous rollercoaster of stress and I am now in a place to tackle the weight gain.
Whilst I knew my weight, I didn’t have a clue about my BMI (which I know we can take with a rough grain of salt) and was shocked to find myself in the obese category. I wear a US 6-8 (having gone up from a 4), my jeans are a size 30 in non stretch denim and I can sit in them comfortably.
It was such a shocking lesson in vanity sizing and how we have normalized being overweight. I have used my clothes are a barometer of maintaining my weight for years.
I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?
