Everyone I see when I go out is so big that it’s causing me to be unmotivated because I feel “normal”.
I know this might sound weird, but everywhere I go whether it’s to a store or even on social media it seems like 80% of people I see are extremely overweight. I am also overweight and need to lose about 50 pounds. But, because obesity is everywhere I find that I’m starting to get too comfortable and I either feel “normal” or I feel like “well at least I’m not as big as all of these people” and it’s causing me to not only be unmotivated but I’m actually gaining more weight.
I also notice a lot of social media stuff is about “body positivity” and I see a lot of women who are huge, maybe three times my size, and they are proud of their bodies and happy about being very overweight. This is also tripping me up. I hate my body and I want to lose weight. But I keep seeing the body positivity movement where a lot of women are proud to be obese and it makes me wonder if I should just be happy the weight I am.
I know maybe I am looking outward too much. But, obesity seems to be way more prevalent and celebrated these days and I’m finding it really hard to set and reach goals.
I guess I’m just venting to see if anyone else encounters this or feels this way?
