F, 5’3”, 184lbs Starting my weight loss journey/journey for health!

So just as it says, I am posting on here to make it official...as well as for accountability. I want to take that first step and make it happen! I want health and freedom! I’m sick of always feeling like crap and not fitting into any clothes and just failing.

Some background. I have always been heavy...since childhood. Last year I had a little success and I got down to 149lbs, but I was very unhealthy about it. I am now back up to 184 with nightly binging sessions.
I’ve been eating crap, so I feel more like crap.
It’s a cycle. Now, I’ve been ‘dieting’ since about the age of 13. I’ve never been happy with my body and it’s stopped me from pursuing some activities that I would otherwise have might of indulged in.
I struggle. I’ve never had any kids. I’ve always been active but...weight loss starts in the kitchen...and that’s where I meet my failures. I feel weak. I feel like I can’t diet anymore. I don’t want a life where I always count calories and restrict. I just want to learn how to eat and be healthy. So, I am committing. As a long time lurker, I am truly inspired by this community!!! I am able, I can, and I will!!!

I will eat clean, moderately, and love myself.

Now, I am in no way saying that being a person of higher weight is bad, I just feel like it’s hurting me. Everyone is different!

Also, I never post on reddit so if I am doing it wrong please let me know how to do it better! I read the FAQ but still anxious about it. Thank you for your time!!!
