Dear throwaway user

I don’t know if you browse on here on your main account but a few days ago you posted saying you were depressed and tired of being fat. You’ve since deleted your account and responses but you really reminded me of someone I used to know. I’m so sorry that you are struggling. This weight loss journey we go on, or even just life, is never easy. It challenges us sometimes, many times, beyond what we can handle but don’t give up on yourself. Your one post had so many responses of genuine people who cared. Don’t be afraid to reach out to strangers on Reddit if you can’t find the support you are needing in your daily life. There are a lot of good people on here who can help, even if it’s just to be a listening ear on a bad day.

Behind every success story you are reading on here, there is a person who has also experienced their failures, breaking points, hard days, and doubts. In a world where we are all so different, on this sub, this is something that oh so many of us have in common. Last night I cried because I was so hungry and I’m certainly not starving myself at 1800 calories and 150 g of protein a day but I’m adjusting to my new eating habits still even after 3/4 weeks. I’m eating quite a lot but I have good days and bad days but all I know for sure is that this would be one of my proudest accomplishments and that’s just one of the things that keeps me going one day at a time. Even after I eat a handful of m&ms because no one can be perfect. The win here was stopping at one handful and not eating the whole bag. So don’t give up! And if you get an Apple Watch, add some friends so we can all cheer you on! Wishing you the best!
