Hello all, sorry if this isn't allowed here or something but I'm just using this as a way to kind of slightly vent and also get my goal/story in writing and introduce myself into this community. I also low-key am hoping to find a little support and maybe make some weight-loss buddies. Again sorry if that's not ok here. I might delete this later anyway.
I have been feeling extremely down lately and just feeling so sorry for myself and I'm so sick of it. I've tried losing weight a couple of times in the past, and even though I was able to lose 30-40 pounds every time, I always ended up giving up on myself and gaining it back.
I gained about 30 pounds during this pandemic (which put me at my highest weight ever and I don't wanna disclose it out of embarrassment) and around September/October I started making better eating decisions again. I was still too depressed to work out but I figured eating better was a start. And when I say eating better, it doesn't necessarily mean I'm eating healthier foods, though I do sometimes, I just eat less of the garbage I've always eaten.
Well, I weighed myself last night and I apparently have lost 30 pounds, the entire weight I've gained during the pandemic! I'm pretty shocked to see this cause I haven't been fully committed and haven't been exercising or anything but I guess I was eating such a high amount of calories before that simply eating less has made me drop a bunch. Needless to say, I have a renewed motivation. Imagine how much more I would lose if I put just a little more effort into my diet and/or started walking a little bit every day?
So this is me committing. I know I've told myself this before but I refuse to quit this time. I have to do this. I am promising myself. I'm gonna start walking again tomorrow. Hell, I might get crazy and use my resistance bands to work out a little. If anyone actually read this, thanks and I wish you the very best in your journey.
