I guess I’m making this to hold myself accountable, I’ve been lurking on this page for a while and decided to make an account and try to update regularly.
I (25f) am 5”2 and weigh 225lbs. I don’t like how I look, I don’t like how I feel. I avoid looking in mirrors because of that. The reason why I want to lose weight is because I want to like how I look. I’m really into cosplay and fashion and things of that nature and found that I don’t like how they look on me. Things fit weird or don’t come in my size and it’s taking a very big toll on me mentally.
The last time I really dedicated myself to going to the gym was when I was stood up by a guy I really liked, I was about 15 lbs lighter than I am now. I refused to look in the mirror or weigh myself. I went more because I was angry and needed a way to vent. While people said I was losing weight and looked different I didn’t see it and got discouraged and stopped.
I know weight loss can’t be targeted, but I think the areas I want to see the difference in the most are my stomach (currently sporting an apron belly) and my face/neck I don’t like having a constant double chin. I’ve never seen my face slim and even if I never the model style jawline seeing any improvement would make me so so happy
The plan for the first month?
- cut out soda and drink more water
- start going on walks daily.
- I want to slowly build this up. To a mile and then 2 miles and then 2.5 before adding in exercises on machines
- try and just track calories without making too harsh of a change
I’m worried that too much of a drastic change too fast will make me not want to continue, I know I need to build up but any suggestions or advice on starting would be greatly appreciated! <3
