Hi all.
I’ve been trying to lose weight for years. I’ve tried it all: nutritionist, personal trainer, weight lifting, yo-yo diets, restrictive eating. I’ve never had long lasting success.
Over the years, my weight has gone 2014 - graduate HS at 133kg (about 280 pounds I think) 2015- 115kg. 2016 - 130kg 2017 - 130kg 2018 - 99KG! I started working early mornings here and essentially skipped breakfast unintentionally. I still ate badly but didn’t eat that many calories.
I’ve crept back up to 125kg now.
I just turned 24. I’m noticing I can’t do things again. My ankles hurt to walk in thongs (sandals…I’m Australian if you can’t tell). I get puffed walking up stairs. Can’t see my meat n potatoes without bending over/holding some fat. It’s sad.
I’m sick of feeling stuck. I know what needs to happen to lose it but can’t get over the mental hump of losing weight. I’m going to see my doctor about helping me. I’m going to ask my psychologist for help around how I think about food.
Today I took a different step, though. I started a running program! I though that at 125kg, I was too heavy. But this app tailored a program to me, I stuck to it. It hurt, my ankles hurt, I was a sweaty mess and I was buffing. Needless to say people moved when they heard me running aha.
That’s my win. I ran a bit today! Thanks for letting me rant.
