18F 4’11 SW:170 CW:157 GW:110 Unemployed, but active 5-6 days a week via workouts
My whole life, I’ve struggled with my weight. Ever since I was a child, I was always picked on both by classmates and certain members of my family. It’s shredded my confidence beyond no point at this rate. But in 2016, I finally found the motivation and thrive to have lost 50+ pounds in over a summer (I was 190lbs at the time). However, I heavily restricted calories and my diet consisted more of water than food, and even experienced a few symptoms of malnutrition. Gained it all back to due to stress and bad binging/coffee habits and landed me back at 170 this year.
Took some advice and a little bit of research and motivation, and now I’ve been using workout videos/plans I can do at home. I also broke a bad habit of eating too little and have been trying to eat enough while also basing my diet off of the food pyramid, and have been catching up on sleep. Redoing a workout plan and I’ve been dropping a few pounds every week or so. I’m hoping to continue with this routine and try reaching that mark of 110. For once, I want to finally be able to fit in clothes loosely or feel better about myself. I may not be confident about my figure and not show it off once I’ve lost it all, but I’ll be really, really happy and proud of myself in the end.
Cutting out the junk food and not binging as much has really helped a lot this far, when I first lost it all. I only really eat a meal now if I’m truly hungry, and still drink quite a bit of water throughout the day. But even with my coffee habit and that being stopped due to quarantine, I haven’t thought too much about going out and getting something from Starbucks anymore. Walking on top of workouts has helped a bunch too. About an hour each day :)
Working to have this all burned off by EDC (a music festival in Vegas) next year (still not sure if I’ll even consider wearing a crop top, I’ve been so insecure all these years).
Thank you all for reading. I wish you all the best on your own journeys and progresses <3
