I first started last month at 210 lbs, and now I'm at 202 lbs (I am 5'2)! Before I started my new journey, I have been constantly going through fad diets (even got myself sucked up in herbalife darkness lol) and yeah I lost weight and all but I just gained back more after I got tired of doing the unsustainable diets. I exercised along with the fad diets but I just pushed myself too hard cuz I thought that more exercise would make weight loss more faster. I felt like I would just exercise now to lose weight and when I'll reach my goal I would stop. That was not a good idea at all. This mindset made my relationship with exercise very toxic. I didn't like it, that was the problem. My willpower was limited so I never sustained any habits.
Well for some reason some time last month, I just bought a switch and bought ring fit adventure since it was all the hype during quarantine. I swear, one of the best purchases I have made. The game is very immersing and actually made exercising fun. It also tells you to just do things at your own pace, rather than the 'no pain no gain mindset'. With that I started to enjoy playing regularly, the tips they give in game also made me conscious about the type of food i was eating. I started to research about eating properly and doing more types of exercise. I also started doing strength training along with playing ring fit adventure. Feels good to go out of the cycle with fad diets and also dealing with food addiction. Willpower isn't enough to push you to change your life, sometimes it's the small things that you do every day which will lead to bigger change.
Anyways this has been too long. One final thing, to those who are having a hard time on how to start exercising I suggest trying out this game. Might work out for you also. That's all, I just wanted to share
