I posted here like half a year ago all gung-ho about trying to stick to a daily exercise plan. Well, I didn't stick to it-- I got embarrassed by how bad I was at everything and slowly gave up. I'm trying again. Not the same thing as before. This time I'm just going to set a goal-- I want to lose 5 pounds. Just 5. I've been gaining weight in quarantine and I was gaining depression weight before that, so 5 pounds probably isn't going to make much of a difference for me-- but it SOUNDS possible in my head. "lose 5 pounds" sounds like a doable task.
This whole year has been a barrage of intensely stressful shit. Between world events and family stuff it's been awful. Carrying around excess weight and struggling to manage all of this stress have created loop of Bad Mental Health and Bad Physical Health that feed into each other and compound one another and I've developed IBS and Gerd and my back literally always hurts. And I'm 25. I feel like I'm 55. I've got to break that loop somehow. I think to be healthy I need to drop 50 pounds at least, but I can't even imagine making that happen-- it's an unattainable idea for me right now.
So 5 pounds. That's all I'm going to shoot for right now. I think I can do 5 pounds. Wish me luck. I'm going to keep myself in check by posting updates here. Seeing people commenting on my posts helps me keep my mind on what I'm doing.
