I apologise if I'm hard to understand, I'm not the best at writing & english isn't my first language! :))
I'm 16F & today is the first day my parents told me that they see a difference in my weight. I was always a skinny person, I was never worried about my weight. When I started high school I got diagnosed with anxiety & would stress eat everything. 3 years later & I gained 30kgs ( 66lbs ) .
As soon as I started gaining weight, I promised myself to lose it. I just gained it. I thought I was trying, but was I really trying? I would diet for a week & eat junk the next week, give up & then complain that I wasn't losing anything. I started to put myself down, I thought I was trying so hard but was in denial because deep down I knew that I wasn't actually trying.
A month ago I was too embaressed to leave the house. My clothes didn't fit me & I came to realisation that I needed to change for my own happiness, health & confidence. I started counting calories. At first I wasn't expecting much, but after two weeks of doing this, I woke up & felt so confident. I went online & bought some actual clothes instead of oversized hoodies & leggings for the first time in a few years.
I limit my calorie intake to 1,200 calories a day. If I want to eat junk food - I will skip a meal to make sure I'm not eating too many calories. It's amazing to see that the food you would eat daily can have such an impact on your weight. I use to eat instant noodles every morning, I found out today that one packet is 356 calories!! It's so easy to eat something & completley ignore the intake of what you're eating & not only did it help me lose weight - it helped me realise how much shit I was putting into my body.
I'm doing fasting & calorie counting. I'm not strict with my fasting, I still have sugar & milk in my coffee in the morning. I normally skip breakfast and start eating proper food at 2:00pm . If I'm seriously hungry before that, I will have a protein shake. This is the first time I have really dedicated myself to losing weight & honestly I have definitley seen results, not just in my body but in my mindset. I have gained some of my confidence back.
Again, I apologise if this was hard to understand.
