I used to be skinny as a kid. But then I puberty hit and I started gaining weight, and I never tried to stop it. 150 lbs... 200 lbs... 250 lbs... 280 lbs... I never cared about calories or nutrients, I just ate whatever I had around, did little to no exercise, and just let myself go for over a decade. I felt like shit.
Then last week something clicked, finally. I weighed myself after years of not doing it. I wanted to stop disliking the way I looked, and I wanted to feel more healthy, more comfortable. I wanted to finally do something about it and stop hating myself.
So I found this subreddit, read a lot about calories and nutrients and stuff, downloaded MyFitnessPal, borrowed an old exercise bike my family had stored away, and just went for it. No overthinking, no excuses.
And yeah, I felt hungry as fuck the first day, and yeah, exercising is hard— but I'm actually getting used to it quicker than I thought. And I feel this is worth it. I feel I can do it!
Now a week has passed, and I weighed myself again. I was afraid maybe I was doing it wrong and nothing would've changed... or that I could've somehow gained weight for some reason.
But no. For the first time in like... forever, I finally started losing weight. And I'm so fucking proud of it. I lost 3.5 lbs, which is more than I was aiming for, but I know it's supposed to be like that at the beginning.
I wanna keep going, and I want to thank you all for this awesome community that gave me that final extra push to do this. You're all amazing.
