I’ve always had a hard time with my weight ever since I was in middle school. Ever since I was younger I was a little chubbier than others (thick thighs, bigger arms, etc.).
I began to workout and would keep at it with a strict diet and follow a workout from someone for a month, cry that I can’t see results while others could, emotionally eat, get depressed, don’t work out for months, and the cycle began again.
I am now 18 and I am still not happy with my body. Some days I don’t care, but it still bothers me a lot. It’s at the point where I can’t go shopping for clothes because I look at myself in the dressing room mirror, stare at what I look like and I immediately get depressed and want to go home. I have missed events, going out with family, I don’t even want to be in a relationship because if I don’t love myself I sure as hell don’t think someone else will for me.
My dad has been trying out to be vegan and I’m thinking of doing that too, but my question is: what can I do in the exercise area that would keep me balanced in an area that I would progress on losing weight as well as not lose my shit. I know the lose the shit part is me, but you never know if someone has advice. I’m willing to even try Zumba classes or rock climbing. I just really don’t want to go down the path that i’ve been thinking of for a year, cosmetic surgery. Also with curiosity, I live with my family and they are ALWAYS supportive of me trying to lose weight. But sometimes their comments hit very hard (you’re getting skinnier, you lost some weight, you gotta get back to the gym...). How can I educate them that that’s not helping at all but making my body image worse? Please and thank you.
I would like to have a strong new years resolution to lose 30 lbs as well with the arm fat and big thighs.
