I’ve been overweight all my life. Although I was fed healthy meals and snacks as a young kid, I fell into emotional binge eating when I was in elementary school which I still struggle with to this day.
Despite being resistant to committing to losing weight, stemming from my desire for instant gratification, I am horrified at the fact I went from an overweight 160 lbs (72.6 kg) to an obese 188 lbs (85.3 kg) while I stand at 5’3” (160 cm).
In the past I had made an unbelievable amount of pitiful dieting attempts. The closest I had gotten to a semi-normal eating pattern was when I would skip breakfast and lunch during weekdays when I went to school, then snacked when I got home, ending the day with dinner.
I genuinely want to lose weight now. My health has declined significantly. I have a harder time doing the simplest of tasks and I struggle to breathe at times. It makes me want to cry, honestly.
My current goal weight is 150 lbs (68 kg) with my ultimate goal weight being 110 lbs (49.9 kg). I might aim for lower, maybe 105 lbs, but I think this is fine for now.
I’m planning to ease myself down to 1,000 calories a day with 30 minutes of exercise in the morning and afternoon. I will track my calories as well.
