New to this community and reddit itself

Hello, I'm 25F, Indian. I have always been chubby but wasn't overweight. My height of 5'9 often hid it. In 2016 I finally joined a gym and started working out. Continued on and off until mid 2018. Lost a ton of weight but I never really worked on my self image and esteem issues. So when my ex started abusing me emotionally about my body, even though I was at my fittest best, I went into depression and slowly started losing my grip at my healthy lifestyle.

Mid 2018 I got detected with hypothyroidism and since then everything has been downhill. Over the past three years I've done a ton of work on my mental health and changed the way I look at fitness.

However, I'm facing a lot of resistance from my mind and body since I decided to start working out again in Jan 2021. Have been to the gym and ate right barely for 6-7 days in the last 40 days. Seeing all you amazing people being so supportive and motivated at making the weight loss journey successfull.. Has given me the hope too.

So I'm writing my heart out here and asking support from this community. I need guidance regarding how to begin and how to build my habit again. I'm 177 pounds. I want to lose 40 pounds as that's what I was when I stopped earlier but I remember looking great back then. Obviously my priority is strength building and being able to do things like run miles. But I also want to lose this weight.

Will you all help me?
