hello! im sure no one will see this, but this is my very first reddit post (still learning how it works lol). i (15f) am 5'2 and around 177lbs (maybe more because of covid). most of the people in my family are big, and ive grown up around lots of unhealthy eating habits. i also suffered from being sexually assulted multiple times from a very young age along with other sorts of trauma. so i turned to food a lot, pretty typical. ive never been stick thin and i probably never will be, as i have kind of a large build by default, i have very wide hips even without the fat on top of it. im actually fine with not being super thin, but i have my insecurities. well i got a true wake up call this past weekend. my mom compared me to my ex-friend who was abusive towards me, and he happens to be pretty big; everytime he came to my house he would devour almost everything in our fridge and still beg for more. she talked about my body and the fact that im a size 10 in jeans. this got to me, and i just snapped: i need to get this weight off. i immediately starting cutting down on food and started my work outs. i used to try this but i would give up after a day or two, but im sticking to it now. i still have cravings, but cutting down has actually been easier than i thought!! after so little time, i already feel digusted looking back at the way i ate even weeks ago. i ate so much junk and fast food. i went from eating probably 2,500cals a day to now about 700-1,500cals a day. excersize is a bit harder since ive always had a sedentary lifestyle, but im sure i'll get the hang of it. i now feel full after eating small meals, so i think its going well so far. its WAY too early to see actual results tho, so do any of you reading have any tips for someone my age to lose weight quickly and stay motivated?? thank you if you read this far :)
