Hi all! I’ve been lurking for a couple of months now, and today I felt like breaking my silence. This might be just another one of those typical posts asking for support, but I really need to get it off my chest.
I’m 25, to be 26 in two days, and I am obese. Not overweight, but obese; I’ve always been overweight/obese my entire life, and I’m honestly tired of it. Tbh, I don’t even know how much I currently weigh. I’ve always wondered what it’d be like to be thin, I would look at certain clothes wishfully, trying to picture myself in them. But I’m tired of wishful thinking, and I want to put it into action. I think I took some “pre-steps” towards that today. I bought a good, well fitting sports bra, and I also ordered a RENPHO Bluetooth weight scale; googled and searched on YouTube some good beginner’s workouts to do from Mon-Fri, planning on walking for at least an hour everyday though, that much is certain.
My real issue is with food. I have a sugar addiction: ice cream, chocolate, baked goods are my weakness, and I tend to reward myself with any of these for doing X or Y thing. I know I shouldn’t, that I should cut these out for a while, I just, I literally cannot help myself and I don’t know what to do about it. I’m also a picky eater, texture is a huge thing for me (ridiculous, I know), and I feel like vomiting anytime something just feels weird.
I guess I’m just asking for tips, some sort of guidance, and most of all, support. Both my parents are obese as well and well into their 50’s, they talk a good game about how they know they need to get their sh*t together, but when it comes to actually doing it, they don’t, so I’m kind of on my own on this. I have a trip to Spain next year (granted, if things get better by then, hoping they do) and I don’t want to go as how I am now. I’d love to be able to lose 100 lbs, not sure if it’s realistic though. But I’m definitely willing to give it a shot.
