Some background info, this is my first time posting as I usually just read through the reddit and support you all! I (F, 21) have been around the 175-185 weight range since I was in highschool. I was always self conscious about my weight (especially since most of my friends were skinny) and I was treated a bit different because of that. I wanted to lose weight so bad, but I could never stick to any programs or routines. Same story in college.
Then, in July of 2020, my dad was diagnosed with Liver Cirrhosis. he doesn't drink, smoke, no hepatitis, nothing, so the cause was Fatty Liver. I cannot explain to you how devastated I was. For the next few months, he was in and out of hospitals, doing horribly, with the pure look of death in his face. He was losing weight rapidly, and I was watching my dad wither away before my eyes. I cannot put into words what I was feeling through all those months.
Then on December 12, 2020 he received his liver transplant, and made it home on 12/24. It was at that moment that I realized I needed to treat my body better, be healthy, and get on my shit because I don't want that to be me.
I started working out in January, at the time I weighed about 180-ish. Then, today, I finally hit my goal weight of 170. My clothes fit different, things are looser, I feel good. Ive never stuck to something so long, and I just feel so accomplished and only more motivated to keep going.
