[F/29/5'6''] I have been putting on weight for years now, and this year I hit my highest of 255lbs. Every since my twenties I have just been gaining more and more. I am addicted to soda, and used to having really strong cravings for salt and vinegar chips, so that's what I ended up eating often.
Right now in Canada there is a short supply of covid vaccines. Distribution is based on a priority list. This started with senior age groups and high risk individuals. Someone pointed out to me that I qualify as high risk because of my BMI being 40+.
When I realized this, I felt horrible. I hadn't considered myself as a high risk individual because of my weight. To think of myself getting vaccinated, purely on the reason of just being fat, I had never felt worse about my weight before. I also didn't feel like getting vaccinated because I am lazy and eat too much was fair, as I've brought this on to myself and there are many other high risk people that also need the vaccine. (I am not saying BMI is not a health issue, or that people shouldn't use this as a reason to get vaccines. I am just saying that personally it made me feel horrible about myself)
So this happened just over a month ago, and I have never been more motivated as I am right now to lose weight. I had tried to do keto before but I found it hard to do with limited choices.
I have now started to count calories. I am following the recommended calories (roughly 1700 for me) and sticking to it. I only had 1 day over calories in the past month. I am still able to eat the types of food I like, and I am so happy that I'm already down 11 lbs in the first month! I have also been doing 2-3km walks almost everyday.
Hopefully I can keep this up. Still haven't had the willpower to cut out soda completely though, and having diet for now.
