Hopeful Beginning
Hello everyone,
First of all, let me just tell you my starting stats: I am 5’6”, 23 years old, 210~ lbs.
I have been slightly overweight to obese my entire life. God, I’m starting to feel so frustrated just writing this stuff out.
Anyway, I need to lose weight. I’m scared of becoming diabetic like my father (the complications from the disease have been so scary), and I’m just plain uncomfortable in my body. I hate wearing baggy clothes, but it’s all I feel comfortable in. My self esteem has always been so low, but I remember two years ago when I managed to get down to about 175~ I could start wearing cute clothes again, and I started to feel good about myself. I miss it so much.
There are many factors contributing to me maintaining a weight of 200+ lbs since the start of the pandemic, such as not exercising, drinking soda, eating way too much, lack of self discipline. Also, for some reason I always bond with my friends and family over unhealthy meals. It’s almost like I offend them if I don’t want to eat Chick Fil A while we’re out and about lol
But I need to do this for myself. I’ve lost so much of my childhood and adulthood to being uncomfortable in my body, I want to at least enjoy some of my 20’s as a normal sized, healthy person.
My goal weight is 140 lbs (aka lose ~70 lbs😱), but if I can get lower, then that’s cool too.
Today I’m going to write myself a meal plan and exercise plan for the week, and I’m going to stick to it no matter what. Just one week (and then another and another and another), I can do this.
Thanks for listening!! Wishing you all the best of luck with your goals too.
