On my own now

New to this subreddit and starting my weight loss journey.

My girlfriend and I broke up a little over month ago after a 4 year long relationship. The last two years I felt we got too comfortable with each other. I stopped caring what I looked like and stop carrying to be active. I gained almost 30-40 pounds and felt horrible, I didn't like looking in the mirror at all. But I was still happy because I had somebody. After the break up I moved out on my own for the first time ever. I had the time to think for myself now and make my new life choices, not for her, not to get back with her, but for me. I cut out all soda and beer, stop eating frozen box meals, no more red meat and started walking a lot more. I would also eat when I got bored and binged eat where I felt uncomfortable after, no more of that! I moved closer to my downtown area which helped me get out walking either to the grocery store or library. It’s been about 4 weeks on my own now and lost 15 lbs and down two belt loops just by eating healthier and walking a little each day. I also have a pretty active job which helps. My next step is to up my workouts, I thought about getting a gym membership since there is one right down the street, or do a 30 min home workout on top of running and walking. I’m looking forward to focusing on myself now and trying to live a healthy lifestyle.
