Long time lurker, first time poster.
I started my weight loss journey a couple years ago when I stepped on the scale at 25 and it showed 285 lbs (5’ 6”, female).
I have tried several weight loss strategies and programs and did have a little success last year and lost 25 lbs. but I gained back 10 with the pandemic.
This week, I was talking with my therapist and she kind of went off on me with ”tough love” and said that I definitely “dabble in” weight loss but I have never fully committed myself because none of the programs I have tried have worked for me and that I made excuses to get out of them. Which I feel is pretty standard for someone in a weight loss journey and somewhat truthful for my situation. But I worked hard in all those attempts and built some good habits that I am proud of but it’s like those efforts don’t even matter.
However, now I feel really lost and am ashamed at myself that I am overweight at all. It’s like she took away all my effort and said “why aren’t you trying harder?”
It’s just such a big journey and burden and I definitely feel like I am at the bottom of this huge mountain. I do have a hard time fully 100% committing to bettering my physical health and I don’t know why. I just feel very lost right now about all of it.
I guess I just needed to vent and ask what keeps you on the wagon and how do you pick yourself back up?
