If anyone who replied to my last post on here remembers me, I’ll be surprised. Here’s the link to my original post:
I wanted to give a quick update on how I’ve been doing, and thank every single person who took the time out of their day to respond to that post, you really really helped me to get up off my feet and seek the help I desperately needed.
First things first, I started seeing a therapist! So far she’s been amazing, and has already helped me so much in the short time I’ve been visiting her. I’m really looking forward to an improvement in my mental state in time with therapy. I ended up opening up to my dad about it, and to my complete surprise, he fully supported me, and even helped me to research therapists to contact in my city. So for that aspect, so far so good.
Second thing was the weight. At the time of the last post I was over 300 pounds. After a week of counting calories and finding my spots to work on, and cutting out bad eating habits, I lost 10 pounds in the first 2 weeks. I started going to the gym last week, 3 days/week cardio and weights. I’ve been slowly cutting all of the garbage food out of my life, and I’m now going on 2 weeks straight without a single walk of shame trip to the store to buy some junk food like I used to many times per week. I weighed myself earlier today and I checked in at 285 lbs!!! I couldn’t believe it when I saw it, I’ve lost 20 Pounds just by improving some simple dietary habits, it was crazy.
Third thing, was me finding a hobby to take away from the boredom that made me wanna eat junk food. I’ve just been sinking myself fully into school, I’m a computer science major so I’ve been writing a lot of code and just diving deep into it to give myself something to do all the time. I took a midterm today and I got a 100% full mark, on one of the hardest classes in my major. I’m currently holding Straight As as well
Last, was the hygiene thing I briefly mentioned. Someone in the replies of my last post gave my advice that totally changed me. Thinking about how good I’d feel after doing the simple tooth brushing or shower, and I’ve been getting way better at developing these habits.
Well I doubt any of the people here who replied to my Old post will see this, but just in case, I wanted you all to know that I’m doing a lot better than I was, and it’s a big thanks to you all who replied, I read every single response I got on that and everything helped so much
