Hey, so I struggled with my weight all my life. I’m currently 24, F. My stats are: 170 cm around 5’7-8 and 200lbs 92-4kg. My starting weight was 105+kg or 230ish lbs (probably higher, my first weigh in was after 2 weeks of dieting and training). As far as I can remember I struggled with weight and was put on a diet. No one in my family know what healthy eating is or doing regular exercise or the importance of fitness. All my family (parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts) are overweight and don’t exercise at all. We were always the kind of family to have a full on feast for every meal. Anyways this lifestyle was fine till they were relatively young but now everyone is older and their bodies are literally falling apart bcos of the weight. Every one of them is on harsh medication and physically restricted. The main problem is that they are all have a food addiction. Literal addiction, I’m not making shit up. So realising this was my wake up call. One year ago I started going to the gym, eating healthy-ish. I’m at in university (last year) and working part time too so it’s pretty hard to stay consistent. I still like to go out, have fun with friends. On the other hand my work needs me to travel to different countries a lot. We also have a lot of event that last 3-4 days up to a week. This always throws my diet and exercise regime off. I’m trying but it’s extremely hard and exhausting. I’m proud to say that even though I’m busy I managed to go back to exercising after a week or months of not doing anything. And even if I’m not doing any exercise I try to get 10k steps and eat kinda healthy. My weight loss formula is the basic eat healthy, focus on protein and fiber, move a little and do some strength training every week. The past months I started noticing some muscle growth which is super exciting. I also gone down a full pant size and 1-2 shirt sizes.
Still I’m pretty close to being one year into my journey and feel like a failure. People lose a lot more during a year and I only managed 1/3rd of my goal. I look at myself and still feel like the person I was one year ago. Puffy, slumpy and just looking like the Michelin man. It’s just hard and I was not prepared for it. I’m glad I could write this off my chest. Thank you for reading
