Let me lay down the facts real fast: because I spent my teenage and early adult years as a 264 lbs obese mess, my favourite hobby was hiding myself away in shame from the world, especially in the summer months when it became more difficult to cover up all that fatness.
From January last year to now, I lost around 100 lbs, which was pretty neat. At first just by not eating like a vacuum cleaner, and later on by walking a lot. Like, near constantly. Every day all day.
Now, summer is arriving, and I find myself completely unprepared. I am not acclimated to being out in the summer heat, I don't even own any summer clothing (or any nice fitting clothes for that matter - haven't gone shopping for new clothes yet with corona going around andalsoimstilllazy). Being obese for so long made me extremely self conscious about sweating in public, and knowing I'm sweating a lot just makes me anxious and sweat even more - I don't want to walk around outside being a sweaty mess!
Furthermore, the less time I spend outside walking, the more time I spend indoors, in my house, where my fridge is, with all its tempting deliciousness inside.
If there's anyone here that can relate to this somewhat specific problem, how are you gonna be tackling this upcoming summer? I actually really enjoy my walks, probably the only exercise I've ever done without despising it. Please share your wisdom.
