Hey r/loseit, I come to you a little heartbroken today. Today is my wake up call. My story: I have been categorized as overweight by my doctor, but I don’t look much too big for my size. I have always been pressured by a skinny, fit family to get in better shape, to eat better, to lose weight, and I have pushed back against the diet culture, of the mindset that it’s my body, I don’t need to fit anyone’s ideals of it.
Last night, my body was telling me something and when I investigated the area in the mirror, I saw a dark area. I did a quick google thinking it’s just cosmetic and saw it could (and most likely is) a symptom of pre-diabetes. I completely spiraled. I will be making an appointment with my doctor to confirm, but it being a Saturday night, there wasn’t much else to do.
Today I signed up for my first exercise since the lockdowns began, and re-downloaded a calorie tracker to my phone. I’ve got to start somewhere, even if this isn’t a sign of diabetes, enough is enough. I’ve been lurking on this sub for many years and I wanted to post here to commit myself to me and to you guys!! You are all so inspiring and it makes me believe that I can make a lifestyle out of weight loss instead of felling trapped and tricked into it.
Hope this isn’t against the rules to not post my current weight or any details of the rest of my journey. It’s only beginning!
