My parents recently went on The Man/Lady Shake -- we're all on the large side. I didn't like the idea of dramatic weight-loss as I've heard it could cause some overall problems.
Instead of joining their shake program, I joined this subreddit, downloaded the app to count calories, started playing Beatsaber or went on 15 minute walks around my paddock after I finish my online school day. I'll admit, I've struggled at times (depression/anxiety messes with how motivated I am to continue) so have not always been able to stick to these activities. But I've noticed small changes in my overall behaviour even when I'm having a significantly downhill week.
I am more willing to park my car further away from shopping centres. I'm more likely to have a small pack of chips, and I eat slower. I've also been able to give myself permission not to finish what's on my plate.
All of these things have seemingly resulted in a (slow, but clear) decline in weight. I thought I'd gain a significant amount over Christmas and New Year, but I didn't. My father looked at me yesterday and noted I'd lost weight -- I didn't believe him since I hadn't monitored my food intake or done any kind of dedicated exercising at all since just before Christmas, but I got on the scales and low and behold, I had.
And now, I'm back to where I was this time 2019. I began losing weight in October, and I'm immensely proud of my achievements. I don't think I could have started this without the guidance and continued dedication of this subreddit -- thank you.
