Need motivation to start my weight loss journey
Hi folks,
Long time lurker first time posting. I am 5’ 1” woman and 168 lbs 😔. My goal weight is 132lbs, I don’t even know when I was that weight last maybe in 2007. This is my highest weight so far. I’ve struggled between 143 and 158 for more than 10 years now. But this last couple of years have been emotionally rough and I have lost all will and desire to exercise. Every time I think I will start a workout plan or keep a strict diet I’m confronted with how I have failed again and again to lose and maintain my weight, it brings out the feelings of shame and inadequacy in full force. I end up sulking and comfort eating. I know there is so much I can do, exercise to YouTube videos, go out walking, do meal planning, calorie counting but it feels like I’m paralyzed to do anything. My mind just shuts down if I start to think about any of it. I’ve developed some kind of fear of even thinking about losing weight which is of course not healthy.
I’m choking up as I’m writing this. I know I’m a good person no matter what but I think I’ll respect myself more if I can lose even moderate amount of weight and more importantly get over my fear of even starting this journey. Can really use some motivation and advice.
Thanks for listening.
