Failure has always been a point of contingency in my life. Admittedly, I am a quitter. If I don’t succeed, I quit. Trying it be healthy is no exception.
I have started my “journey” countless times. Started strong and then fell off somewhere along the way but never lost any significant weight in the process.
For the past several years I have embraced body positivity and loving my body no matter what it looks like and I have gotten so good at that. Not focused on vanity, but focused on health. I’ve been relatively happy.
I’m now 26, 5’10, and pushing 300 pounds. I’m getting married in 8 months. I thought getting engaged would be enough of a motivator to really start a lifestyle change. It wasn’t. I haven’t made any significant improvements.
I’m 100% ready to do this, but failure is my greatest enemy. It is so incredibly easy for me to be discouraged and quit, that’s been proven. I have no idea where to start. I’m scared to start.
I was hoping to come here and rant and just get my emotions written down somehow and I’m realizing the more I type, the more that I need hope. I need motivation. I need guidance and patience.
I feel lost. I know I need to do this. I want to do this. Failure just seems inevitable.
