Actually I am familiar with the Kondo method!

@ Happy Now,

Seriously??? I have snapped a selfie once a year since I lost the weight. I don’t know what is the matter with people like you. Offhand, I would say A LOT. Look there was no guile. No forced perspective sought. I update because the 5:2 helped me reclaim my body and my health. I listened to a lot of people (some health-care professionals) try to portray this diet as unhealthy and that it couldn’t possibly work. I update to tell the beginners…the one who have just started the 5-2 that it is very possible, and once you’ve lost the weight, easily maintained.

I am 56 years old.

When I was in my late 20’s I weighed 98-115 pounds and constantly heard how “too thin” or “unhealthy” I looked. Ribs showed. In the years before I lost the weight I ballooned up to nearly 200 pounds…was called “fat” and many other (less kind) derogatory terms. Now I am at my IBW, and you have the gall to say that I manipulated perspective for a better “thigh gap”??? I could care less about my thigh gap. What I care about is the fact my last labs were perfect. That I have a waistline again and not a “roll” and that the weight loss came off, stayed off and is easily maintained.

I took the shot before meeting a friend at the mall.
The whole thought process involved was “It has almost been another year”.
