I lost 130 lbs and kept it off for 5 years. My biggest tip for everyone is to start living life now.
A common thing I see is people using their weight loss journey as a form of procrastination.
They put off things they really want to do in their life on the premise that they need to lose weight first.
"I hate where I live, but I'll move next year when I lose weight" or "I'll wait a year to lose weight before going to college/grad school".
"Ill buy clothes, shoes, get a haircut, etc. next year". Resulting in spending several years wearing frumpy clothes and looking unkempt. You don't need to buy a ton of clothes at your current size, but at least buy a few nice outfits. It's well worth spending a few hundred dollars to feel happy and confident.
I'll start dating next year. Even if your 'success rate' is lower, you can still find a partner via sheer numbers game. Not only that but you get more experience sooner to help you learn what you like/dislike.
"I'll go on vacation next year". Ok. Do it next year. But also do it now
People frame it as an either or. "I'll do this after I lose weight".
I don't think there's a tradeoff between any of these things.
If anything there's a correlation. Improving in one area of your life can help you improve in others.
Doing good things for yourself can improve your mental health thereby making it easier to lose weight
