Looking for any tips or even motivation.

Hello Everyone,

I am a female, 18, around 180lbs (i barely weigh myself now because the number on the scale always seems to go up) and I am 5’2.

I have always been the chunky kid throughout my life. I have tried practically every diet since the age of 12 to try and lose weight, and I always fall off track.

I went to college at 150 lbs and gained 30+ lbs in the last 9 months and I can not even bare to look in the mirror at this point in my life. I am truly at a point where if I dont change things, I will end up putting on more weight and eventually spiral.

I am making this post to ask, all bullshit aside, the best way to have a healthy mindset and truly change my eating habits. I am definitely someone who enjoys a snack too often but my biggest problems are binge eating and stress eating.

My goal weight is my initial weight going into college (150lbs) and hope someone else can relate to me and possibly give me some tips as to the best way to go about losing weight in a healthy way, and then maintaining that weight!

SIDE NOTE: I really appreciate any and all tips and advice, even if it’s something small!! I think watching these skinny people show me workouts on a screen from home due to covid 19 has truly made me lose motivation if anything because it makes me feel like im the only fat person in the world (it’s crazy i know)

I think it’s great to hear from everyone on here because whether you have lost weight or want to, everyone one here is going through the same thing as me or knows how I am feeling. I truly feel like i am not alone in this for the first time in forever, especially growing up as a chubby kid to fit parents, and I have only received a few replies but I already feel more motivated to begin this journey for the last and final time, and turn healthy habits into a lifestyle! I am truly grateful for finding this group and look forward to hearing about other people’s success as well!
