I had PPD and got up to around 244 lbs. I then lost 100 lbs, tracked my macros, did a lot of lifting, etc. But I was still so devasted by how I looked. It was nothing like before. I had an enormous amount of loose skin and doing any sort of cardio hurt a lot because of it. I was thin-ish, but my stomach stuck out. My breasts had deflated.
I got a lift and breast implants thinking it would boost my self esteem. I did look a ton better, but the lift was mediocre and the surgery caused a great deal of pain. This was almost a year ago and it still hurts.
Since all that I've gained most of the weight back due to depression. I know I need to lose it again, but I don't have the same motivations as before, thinking I'd look like my 20 year old self again.
I've looked through reddit for success stories to help with the motivation, but couldn't find any I felt a connection to. The successful ones all seemed to have had weight loss surgery or they starting running 20+ miles a week, or took up mountain climbing, or something of that sort. Not anything simple like, "I tracked my macros and here are my awesome results."
I know I don't need motivation, only discipline. But I do need some sort of driving force to do this, other than knowing I probably should.
Anyway, this was mostly just a rant. Thank you to whoever took the time to read this.
