Wow hello again fat secret. It’s been over 2 years since I was last active on here and almost 4 years since I started my original weight loss journey. A lot has happened since then! I quit my 9-5 desk job, and moved 9 states away from Virginia to Maine and ended up becoming a bartender instead. I’ve never been so happy with my choices in my life. I’m truly living the dream right now. However i’ve lost a lot of control over my weight, and its getting to the point where it's slowing me down with the activities I love the most like snowboarding, hiking, swimming, etc. Bar food is so easily available and i’m so tired from standing all day I hardly ever workout. I’m by no means overweight, but I would like my clothes to fit comfortably again so I don’t have to buy a new wardrobe! So if you’ve been here a while i can’t wait to say hi after so long and if you joined in the last few years i can’t wait to meet more friends!

Hi friends! I've decided my journey with Fat Secret has finally come to an end. I'm embarking on an intuitive eating lifestyle, and stepping away from calorie counting. I'm hopeful and excited for the next chapter in my relationship with food/exercise, but i'm sad to say goodbye to a lot of people I genuinely consider friends. I'm keeping my account alive but unused so please please reach out through a message if you would like to connect, over instagram or facebook! I value so many of you as people and hope I can keep in contact. I sincerely hope every single one of you hit your goal and live healthy and happy lives. Until we meet again! 🥰🤍🥰🤍

⚠️ long post ahead! (TW: ED)⚠️

well hey there! been about 2 months since i've posted anything. i've been silently tracking most of my food. thankfully nothing bad happened to cause my disappearance- life is grand! but I have been working through some thoughts on my relationship with food and FatSecret recently.

when I first popped up on this site a few years ago I wanted to lose weight, not necessarily for health reasons, for vanity's sake. along the way my health improved tremendously. I was no longer considered overweight, I could actually workout, and I looked better! woo!

over the last year i've stayed at about the same weight, while working out and staying active in different ways, and eating relatively healthy at all times. but because I never made it to a specific size or body type, I was perpetually unhappy.

because I wasn't satisfied with how my body looked, I would feel guilty EVERY DAY about going over my "RDI" and I didn't get to enjoy food that was meant to fuel my body, even if it was healthy, all because of numbers on a computer screen.

regular dieting can quickly turn into pathological dieting (dieting that is in some way unhealthy, such as being overly limiting by food category or too low calorically), and the hard truth is it's all over FatSecret.
as someone who grew up surrounded by eating disorders in the home, school, and dance studio (recognized and unrecognized) I know when my thinking becomes too disordered and I need to take a step back, which is what I did! and guess what, I’m still very healthy!! did I gain 3 pounds? yes. did I gain strength? yes. did I gain fat? yes. did I enjoy my food way more guilt free in the last two months than the last year? YES.

the reason we’re on this site is to get HEALTHY, and numbers on a scale, or on a RDI calculator, are not the end-all be-all of health. restricting calories to be a size 0 instead of a size 2 might seem harmless, but most of the time it’s needless. And yes this is going to ruffle feathers but if you’re decisions about restricting food are fueled purely by vanity reasons, maybe you can also take a step back and recognize if that is potentially disordered thinking. unfortunately it’s this exact type of thinking that originally led me to a healthier lifestyle.

what I’m saying is not absolute and obviously doesn’t apply to everyone! there are so many people on this app who DO have an amazing relationship with food and their health, and this app has genuinely helped so many (including me) crawl out of unhealthy lifestyles. I’m not advocating for an overindulgent type of life where health doesn’t matter at all, but every sword is double edged and mindsets can be taken too far. I’m not sure how much I’ll be engaging with FS going forward, for now I’m going to continue my silent tracking, but I wanted to post to keep MYSELF accountable for my thoughts in an effort to move forward with a better mindset.

I’m hoping everyone receives the piece of mind, strength, courage, or whatever they need today, tomorrow and every day to lead a HEALTHY balanced life 🤍
