Hello Reddit!
I'm 32, recently married, and I work with elderly patients on night shift. I'm trying to get back into a routine and be healthier for myself and my husband. I've struggled with my weight my entire life. My dad is former military and a health nut, but my mom is all about sweets and fried food. I definitely had some mixed messages growing up.
As an adult, I've always been in the 300s. I stayed in the lower end when I was single, and gained a lot in relationships. Things got a little complicated in 2013 when I was in a car accident that nearly killed me. I had a lot of nerve damage, and had to learn how to walk again. At that point, it was the first time I ever got over 400. As soon as I could, I was in the gym, and lost 50 lbs. Then I got into another relationship and neither of us encouraged the other to eat healthy or be active. So in about a year, I gained 30lbs. I also had more health issues, and I was back over 400.
I left that relationship for a multitude of reasons, and I was back down to around 330. I hadn't been that small in about 10 years, and I felt amazing. I felt unstoppable. Then... I met my husband. We both had terrible work schedules and jobs, and we both gained weight. I almost hit my highest weight again.
During our stay at home orders, I was motivated. So between March and June, I lost about 20 lbs. But I've been hovering around in the 390s. I'm honestly hoping to find people to help me stay motivated. My husband is an amazing support, but I'd love to have friends that I can do this journey with. I just want to get back to a point where I'm safely living life to the fullest like I used to. Things like hiking, running, or riding a bike. I haven't done that in over a year just because my strength and endurance wasn't there. I got close earlier this year, and now I need to get back on working on my conditioning. I hope to get to know some of you, and I hope we all reach the success we want.
