It's been 6 months since moving to Japan!!! And it has already been quite the adventure.
Emotionally, Mentally, and Physically.
But since I'm dedicating this blog to health and weight loss. Here goes!!
When I last check in September I was 270 pounds! But I am now 245!! (or 244.5 if I'm being specific lol)
Like after all this time I finally got the courage to step on the scale and to my surprise I've lost 25 pounds :D I've literally only changed my diet and I've had this amazing change. The diet change wasn't even on purpose lol. Japan just typically has more chicken and fish options. I'm not even going lie though I do have a burger and other things I shouldn't have here and there but I've still managed to lose this much weight... it's crazy.
What is really interesting though is that my period has become normalized since coming here. I think I've mentioned it before but I was diagnosed with PCOS at around age 17. Which means I have cysts on my ovaries and my periods are irregular. In my case they were super irregular. I would only have them 2-3 times a year. But now after moving to Japan I've been having them every month consistently.
Another new development is I can drink milk here!! Like I was diagnosed with lactose intolerance in America but it was pretty the only things I couldn't have were milk and some cheeses. But holy shit I can drink whole milk here... I guess it's something different with how the milk is processed or something but it's amazing :D I drink milk every day with my school lunch :D
I have a lot more to say but I'll add it later... time to get ready for school!!!
