On January 25, 2021, I weighed 308.8. I had gained 20 pounds since starting a new job in June 2020. Enough was enough. I started just by decreasing my calories. I know it’s more than most here, but my daily intake is supposed to be around 2000. I try to meal prep for about 4 days of the week, and then on the 5th, I treat myself to subway. I have have a very stationary job, so I just tried to take walks throughout my office more.
Things were going really well for a while. I was losing weight and kept telling myself that I need to start with healthier eating habits, and then I’ll start to exercise. Because every time I’ve done this in the past, I lose motivation after working out for a few weeks. I don’t know how to create workouts, I’ve very self-conscious at the gym (and in general), and honestly, I was scarred to start.
But today I worked out for the first time in a year. It wasn’t much - just completed a world on the Ring Fit, but I still did it. And I can feel the burn in my shoulders. And my legs hurt from the squats. But I did it. And now I’m going to the grocery store to buy fresh fruit for my new fruit infused water bottle.
I don’t know how often I’ll work out. I don’t know when I’ll go to the store to buy work out clothes (I worked out in the dress I wore to work). But I will try this again. And hopefully again. And hopefully again. I’m still afraid, and self-conscious, and ashamed, but hopefully I’ll get better.
