I was kidding myself and kept making excuses

So I am female, 25, 92.3 kg and 5'7. I have been trying to lose weight for years. I would cut out carbs for a few meals then binge at night. I would go hard at the gym for a few days then I would not go for weeks. I would say it's hard for me to lose weight because I have insulim resistance, the foods I eat aren't healthy, genetics etc....

I then started to log my food in MFP but I would estimate how much I eat and not weigh anything. I was not losing a single gram. I would get pissed off and say nothing is working so I would order take out and eat my feelings. My weight just kept on creeping up. The day I saw 94.5 kg on the scale, I almost fainted. I had reached an all time low. I was almost 100kg. But I was still stuck in the same cycle.

That is until this month. I am turning 25 the day after tomorrow and I want to have a massive glow up this year. It was awful living my early twenties hiding myself, not feeling confident, not being myself. I want to feel confident, sexy, healthy powerful and happy.

So I decided to actually weigh my food and write my own recipes on mfp, and log every single thing that entered my mouth. I also observed the people around me and noticed that the skinnier people were moving more and eating much less than I was. Whilst I was inhaling my seconds and thirds, they were still on their starters. I realised that I was overeating badly.

I then set mfp goals to losing 0.5 kg a week and downloaded libra. Guys I have lost 1.8 kg this month!!!!!! I started off at 94.1 kg and I am now 92.3 kg. It's not a massive difference. Libra says that I am losing on average 0.4kg a week and I couldn't be happier. I have not cut anything out of my diet. I still don't move as much as I should but that will be the next thing I tackle next month. My diet isn't as healthy as I want it to be but again I'm just taking baby steps. My initial goal weight is 70kg and I hope to reach that goal in six months. Will come back and update everyone.

This will definitely be the year I take control of my health and reach my goals.

Thank you Reddit for teaching me about cico, mfp and libra.
