I am more than ready for this change.
I'm (22F) currently stuck in the 160s but I'm choosing to stay optimistic. A plateau doesn't last as I'm definitely not quitting. I started gaining weight in high school from comfort eating, I was 125 lbs when I was a freshman and got up to 150 lbs by senior year. School and my mentally abusive relationship had a huge impact on me. I managed to lose around 10 lbs in sophomore year but that weight got put back on from stress eating.
After I graduated, I got a gym membership and really started focusing on my health. But then I got into another relationship and became pregnant, I was very discouraged about my journey. Luckily, after my child was born, my weight went back to 148 lbs. I really tried to keep up with my health but the overwhelming PPD and stress had my weight shot up to 180 lbs. I remember walking into the gym to check my weight, I thought I had maintained 150 lbs and just needed to figure out a good routine but I gained so much. Even after I thought I was putting in effort. I really felt like giving up after seeing that on the scale.
But I've honestly just had enough of my excuses and "circumstances". 4 months ago I started tracking my calories and doing my workout routine regularly and I'm at 167lbs and I'm happy about it. That's closer to 150, and I'm not giving up. I'm determined to reach my original goal of 135 lbs. It's not impossible. I just felt the need to vent this out since I've literally been bothered by my weight for so long. It's not nearly as interesting as the amazing stories I've read in here but I'm glad I'm finally experiencing what feels like real progress in my frustrating journey. Thanks for reading.
