Starting today and using this sub as a digital diary

I'm 23F and currently weigh 132 kg (291 lbs). I'm sick of it and really want to make a change. I thought I could keep myself accountable by posting on here on the 1st of every month until I reach my health and fitness goals. Anyone who's struggling to start is free to join.

For the first month, I'd like to forget about the weight loss for a bit and fully focus on stopping my binging. When I get control of that, I'm sure then weight will come off on its own because I wouldn't be eating thousands of calories in one sitting.

I took some progress pics today and I'm trying to not let them demotivate me. I'm only 165 cm (5"5'), so I am very much morbidly obese at this point. I try not to think about loose skin or what my body would look like when I lose half of it. I try to think of other positives, like not getting tired as much and not letting my BED beat me down anymore, not feeling helpless and powerless and actually looking and feeling my age, instead of twice as old.

I am looking forward to posting again on the 1st of December. I'll share some of my plan.

Like I said, I'll mainly focus on what I eat with the goal of not binging. Counting calories drives me a bit crazy, so instead I'll take pictures of everything I eat, so I don't accidentally consume more than I should. I'll weigh in every Sunday and do it more or less often depending on how I feel but will have to weigh in at least on the 1st of each month before making a post.

When it comes to other activity, I'll be walking at least an hour a day and do strength training for an hour more in the evening. I plan on using a habit app that I really like which keeps me motivated - it's called Habit on iOS.

Good luck to everyone who decides to join or has already been doing it on their own. Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences :)
