Hi everyone! I apologize if this isn't the right place to post but I was hoping you guys could help me. I, uh... feel like I've reached a point of no return and I'm scared.
I've been overweight ever since I was 12 (adolescence was hell. However, these past few years I've put on a lot of weight and according to my BMI, I'm obese. Now, I absolutely support the body positive movement, but I'm not comfortable in my own skin and I have bad backaches I think I wouldn't have if I was in better shape. I know it seems stupid to even post this but I'm just... afraid. I joined a gym in September, I lost one size in about three months. It was slow, but I'm 150 cm tall (around 4'9 feet I think?) and it was difficult to maintain a calorie deficit. I eventually quit because exams stressed the hell out of me, and not only did I got back the weight I lost. I put on even more weight. I'm devastated and disappointed at myself. And to be honest, I don't have the motivation to start again. But I am going to. I have to.
So... I spent my savings on a treadmill (I can't go to the gym now due to COVID-19 lockdown and I only used the treadmill there anyway) that's arriving in a few days! I guess that what I'm asking you guys is how can I be motivated again? What can I do to successfully lose weight in a healthy way when I'm so short? I feel like maintaining a 1200 kcal diet is so difficult!!
On a side note, I'm a huge fan of this community and I'm so proud of all of you guys!! I'm sorry if this post is stupid or uh... not appropiate for this community? but I need support right now.
I apologize for any mistakes I might have made, English isn't my first language.
TL;DR: Despite having failed in my attempts to lose weight in the past, I'm ready to try again. But it's a bittersweet feeling: I'm terrified of failing again and disappointing myself. I would greatly appreciate any story/tip/motivation to begin anew!!
