Starting to feel confident
19F SW:245 CW:218 GW:170 So Ive been trying to lose weight for over two years bow and by trying i mean ive been thinking about it for a long time. It wasnt until March this year that Ive actually been doing it though. There have been countless attempts and honestly didnt think i could actually do it. Its been 26.6 pounds since my heaviest weight and 21.6 since my starting weight in march (heaviest was February.)
All Ive truly been doing consistently is eating in a calorie deficit. MyFitnessPal and my food weight scale is a blessing. The weight scale is the real difference from all of my other attempts as well as learning about nutrition as well. Actual nutrition, instead of just learning the food pyramid. (a nutritionist who was supposed to help me lose weight thought that teaching me that vegetables are good for me is going to make me lose weight.)
Anyways, i could rant about the health industry and their lack of care for overweight and obese people but this post is about me and how ive been doing.
While losing weight Ive been realizing that ive been a lot more confident, looking in the mirror a lot more and thinking about my appearance a bit more, When before i wouldnt care how i looked when i stepped out of the house. Ive been getting more compliments and I dont know if its because of the weight ive lost or the confidence ive gained. 20~ doesnt sound like a lot and i know i have a lot left to lose but this is a big victory for me, im so close to being super confident. ive lost a lot of inches-around my stomach and i feel so much more alive.
Its so motivating and it makes me so excited to lose weight. Ive never been this hopeful. I really think I can do it this time after being considered obese my whole life and wanting to lose weight but not being able to and not believing in myself. i think i can finally do it. And not many people or maybe anyone will understand what i mean but its truly proud of myself even though no one in my life realizes what a big accomplishment this is to me and my mental health. Im proud of me.
Moral of the story. If you want it enough, educate yourself and do it for yourself cause no one is going to care enough to do it for you. no one is going to wake you up everyday and get you to go running or walk. you have to do it for yourself.
