Alaska outdoors columnist Alli Harvey writes about how recent weight loss is about much more than the number on the scale; it’s about practical improvements.
I lost about a million pounds over the past year and a half. OK, not a million — a little more than 20, but it might as well have been a million for all of the work it’s taken. Pounds are persistent little buggers that seem to flee only from the perfect mix of protein, lifting things, walking a lot and the proper alignment of the planets.
This was the first time I have attempted or successfully followed a weight loss plan that wasn’t borderline or full-on — undiagnosed — disordered. The difference? My focus wasn’t actually on loss. I wanted more. I wanted more comfort and ease in my body and in exercise. I wanted to hike higher, run farther and easier, and say “yes” with less thought or anguish about the energy it might cost me or how much it would hurt.
And, just like when birthdays roll around and feel suspiciously like every other day of the year, the moment of achieving goal weight is more about how I inhabit it than it is the arbitrary number. Yes, my clothing fits really well. I feel lithe and strong. I question my ability to get outside and do hard things much less. I say “yes” to impromptu runs, hikes, or skis and don’t fret much over distance or difficulty. These are all things I worked really hard for, and I’m sincerely excited to be here.
