I’ve been a ‘big girl’ since I hit puberty and tried on and off to lose weight for years but never could stick to anything before feeling completely discouraged and giving up.
A few months ago my SO of 5 years sat me down and had the hard conversation with me. My family has pretty bad medical history and my weight isn’t going to help... he told me he doesn’t want to watch me die. It was a scary talk but I knew he was right and we made a game plan, and I’ve been logging food in MyFitnessPal for 72 days straight, working on sticking to intermittent fasting. and started going to the gym 2-4 days a week regularly. So far I am down about 10 pounds.
Today as I was changing I got the guts to take pictures of my current weight in the mirror, because I want to actually stick with things this time. Im not ready to post them, heck I don’t even want to look at them. But when I feel ready I want to know how far I’ve come.
That’s the same reason I’m posting this, I’m trying really hard to make myself accountable, track everything (etc etc) because I don’t want to try again in 5, 10, or 20 years, I want to fix things now. I want to look back and know I really changed things, and I have to start somewhere.
