Hit my heaviest. Next week I start.
Hey.
I'm a 19yo college student about to finish my sophomore year. Today I was procrastinating studying, as one does, and finally decided to replace the batteries in my scale. I haven't used it in about a year when I tried to lose weight last. I'm about 5'9" and when I first tried to lose weight I was at 207 and feeling bloated. Then covid hit and I barely touched it.
I started renting a house, so I also became fully in charge of groceries for myself as well. Needless to say, stepping on the scale was a bit devastating. 240.
Since covid hit, I've had a few wake-up calls, but this combined with not being able to wear my jeans anymore just hit harder than anything else. I feel like shit when I eat too much. It's not a good feeling and I can't deny that anymore. I eat out of boredom. I eat because I'm depressed and if I'm shoveling food in my face, I can excuse not doing the work I should be doing.
It all starts somewhere, and for me, that's next week. I don't want to feel gross. I don't want to have a panic attack anytime people are going to be looking at me. I want to wear clothes that I think look nice.
I want to be confident.
My plan is to start out with Keto and a daily walk. Doesn't matter how far I walk, just so long as I do. With keto, I'm planning on going for an "out of sight, out of mind" strategy. I'm going to fully make a grocery list before leaving my house so I don't end up buying just what looks good.
I can do this. It doesn't matter how long it takes, just so long as I stay determined and focus on feeling good rather than looking it.
I hope you all are doing okay out there.
