*TRIGGER WARNING*

I genuinely have no idea what happened over Christmas.

I could barely restrict because parents.

I hated it.

They were constantly on my tail making sure I ate 3 meals a day.

I hated my body the whole time.

I couldn't bring myself to step on the scales.

It was the longest I'd been in months without weighing myself.

I would suck my tummy in and pinch at any fat that I could find, wishing it could disappear.

It never did.

At least, it never felt like it did.

I could see my thighs getting bigger, and my tummy too.

At the end of the Christmas break (2 weeks long where I live), I decided I had to weigh myself to see how much I had put on.

I needed to know how much restricting I had to do next term.

Would I get 1,000 calories a day?

Would I get 300?

It was all down to this one weigh in.

My legs were trembling as I stood on the scales.

It took me a couple of minutes to bring myself to look at my weight.

But I did it.

I looked down.

And I lost 3kg over Christmas.

Your eyes did not just deceive you.

I lost 3kg!

I was so happy.

So, so, so happy.

My friends didn't understand why I was so happy, but I ended up restricting less in the hope that whatever I had been doing would work again.

I hoped that whatever I was doing over Christmas would carry on.

I really, really wanted it to.

Let's just say it kind of didn't.
