Started my journey January 4th and I’m already down 4lbs! I’m an emotional mess..

( sw: 336 / cw: 332 / F / 26y/o ) As the title states, I’ve recently started my weight loss journey again. Last year was a hard year and I put on a lot more weight than I wanted to. It’s been noticeably harder to move around and to do basic things around the house like cleaning, doing dishes and ect. The reason why I want to lose this weight is to be healthy and to feel good about my body for once. I’m tired of feeling stuck in this fat body of mine. I want to do this the right way and also improve my relationship with food. I’ve always had issues with eating and I want to fix that along the way. I just want to be happy and feel worthy of love and respect. I feel like I don’t get that much as an overweight woman. I’m often treated as a joke and I just want to change so badly. I want to be seen has a human. I’ve tried losing weight so many times and failed so it makes me feel like I’m doomed to be fat my entire life. It sucks.

These past few days of my weight loss journey have been hard on me. I’m constantly finding myself on Instagram looking at people’s before and after. Comparing myself to other women and overall it’s been not so good. I think that weight loss is half mental and half physical. You can do all the right things but at the end of the day you still need to address your thoughts. I’ve been doing my hardest to work on my negative thoughts. But damn is it hard as hell. Not every day will be easy and I sure as hell am learning this.

As for my diet it’s been hard too but I’ve been doing my best. I’m trying to find things to eat that make me feel full that are low in calories also while staying in a caloric deficit. I want to realize that I can eat food, feel satisfied an still be within my deficit. I’m still allowing myself a soda or chips here and there(counting the calories ofc). I told myself even if I do eat badly I’m still going to track my calories just so I can KNOW and begin to understand how food and calories work.

I’ve started working out at home since the gyms are still closed because of the pandemic. I’ve been following an at home aerobics routine every few days. The first day I did it I could only manage 11 minutes of the work out. The next day I did some warm up stretches and worked out again. This time I worked out for a total of 35 minutes (warm up and cool down included) I haven’t worked out the past few days but I want to. I was sore as hell but that’s only normal.

Through these past five days I’ve been going through an emotional roller coaster but I feel like I can handle it. I’ve lost 4lbs and it already makes me feel amazing. It’s not much but I’m proud of myself. I want to stay motivated and consistent. I know weight loss doesn’t happen over night so I want to keep pushing myself. much. I just wanted to put this out there. So if you read this far.. thank you!
