I’m having a crisis… after a rapid waist-slimming phase.

When the weight loss journey comes to an end, a new journey begins.

I’m in quite a special phase right now: a crisis… after rapid waist-slimming 🥲.
It may sound intense, but in fact, I see it as interesting milestones—beautiful memories marking my transformation after 5 months of losing 11kg and 16cm off my waistline.

Situation 1: Returning to my hometown and becoming a “stranger” in everyone’s eyes.

The first thing in the series of “post rapid waist-slimming” situations was me returning to my hometown. And the result: everyone stared wide-eyed, jaws dropped like…
“Uh, who’s this?”
"Did she transform or something?”
Just because we hadn’t seen each other for a few months, I had already “shed” 11kg. From that moment on, my mouth barely got a break, constantly explaining my journey and “weight loss secrets” to relatives.

Situation 2: Sharing sincerely but being suspected of “withholding knowledge.”

I’m being honest: I didn’t lose weight by starving myself or through harsh crash dieting.
On the contrary, I was eating to the fullest, at full capacity:
Eating more meat, a little less vegetables.
Eating enough carbs and protein to balance nutrition.
Not restricting myself at all.
And yet, when I shared this, everyone looked at me with doubtful eyes, like:
“This girl must be hiding her tricks.”

At first, it was kind of funny, but then I thought: if the method I followed was simple yet effective, it’s understandable that others might not believe it. To me, that’s the interesting part—losing weight scientifically doesn’t necessarily have to be miserable.

Situation 3: Saying goodbye to the entire wardrobe.

The next equally heartbreaking dilemma was when I opened my wardrobe. A whole collection of cute dresses, sportswear, and even lingerie I had just bought three months ago… all now hanging loose.

Heartbreaking for me, and for my wallet.
But on the bright side: I now have a legitimate reason to refresh my fashion style. A transition from the “old me” to the “new version of me.”

Situation 4: Yoga outfit unexpectedly loose at 5:30 a.m.

This morning, I woke up at 5:30, ready in spirit to go to yoga after nearly 4 months away from the gym. But when I put on my once-cute pink yoga outfit, I realized: it had become loose too.

It was a bit disappointing, but at the same time I felt happy. Even my workout clothes reflected the positive changes in my body.

Situation 5: The new crisis – To shop or to wait?

And so, I was once again faced with a “tough problem”:
Should I buy a whole new set of clothes right away to fit my current shape?
Or should I wait until I reach 46kg (about 3 months from now) before shopping, to save money?
If I don’t buy anything, am I really supposed to go out in “flapping” oversized clothes 🙂‍↔️?

It may sound like a crisis, but it’s actually fun. After all, if the dilemma is about shopping for new clothes, that’s the kind of “problem” anyone would wish for after a weight loss journey.

In fact, every dilemma is a memorable milestone.

Looking back, I feel truly lucky. The awkward, funny situations after losing weight are no longer a “crisis,” but little joys. They remind me that:

I have truly changed.
I have enough patience and determination to see it through.
And now, I deserve to enjoy these unexpected joys.

👉 If you’re also on a weight loss journey, get ready: behind your target weight lies a “collection” of interesting stories. And be proud that you have been, are, and will continue to become a better version of yourself.
