So I have always been overweight my whole life. As young as 6th or 7th grade I was forced by my parents to count calories, go on jogs, and join FA (Food Addicts Anonymous, like AA witha sponsor but with a super strict meal plan). I am now 25 and because of this I have always had trauma associated with weight loss and has prevented me from really trying to lose weight. Also because of this I have not told my family I am doing this (we are sheltering in place in the same house). I don't want my family to pressure me or tip toe around me. I kind of want to do this by myself for myself for the fist time.
I just recently found out I have PCOS, a condition where one of the symptoms is weight gain due to imbalanced hormones. It also makes it harder to loose the weight.
But I have finally done something!!! I have been counting calories on the Lose It! app for 35 days. And this time I'm REALLY counting the calories, unlike the times before. Also I am only eating meals when I'm actually hungry. I am trying to eat balanced meals with vegetables protein and complex carbs, but I am trying to restrict myself as little as possible. That means sometimes I will have some chocolate or my meal won't be completely balanced. Like last night I had a bowl of homemade hot and sour soup for dinner, which isn't super balanced but its also not a lot of calories. I am not exercising just yet, as there is emotional trauma associated with that (one thing at a time!).
But 35 days ago I started at 348lbs and yesterday I was 325.8lbs! Its really motivating to actually see progress. Finally.
