Does walking count as exercise for short periods 3x a week? (Very Morbidly obese)

TL;DR: im 22f, 48 bmi, 5’2 and back on my weight loss journey after gaining 20 lbs back. I’m doing 10 minutes 2x and 15 1x a week

22f(US), 5’2, | SW: 275 (50.3 BMI) | CW: 264 GW: Not focusing on goal weight

I do lurk here a bit but I want to be more involved in this subreddit :,)

I’ve been big my entire life besides when I was under 5 years old. Below that I was super skinny, probably a little more than most kids my age then? But stuff happened, I gained a lot throughout my life and reached my highest of 275 lbs. I’ve tried losing weight before around 235 lbs like three years ago but I fell off. I’ve been going back and the cycle repeats.

But hey, no matter what I end up coming back even if it’s months later 🤷‍♀️

I decided i shouldn’t be so hard on myself because that’s what has been doing it. Making myself work out 5-6x a week for 15-20 minutes, not eating much. I think that’s why I kept failing and cycling back!

Lately I’ve made myself a little plan/map. 10 minutes 2x a week, 15 minutes 1x a week on no particular days, as long as I get in the exercise . It’s what my body can handle right now and yes I 100% plan on going further when I get more comfortable! But for now im focusing on consistency over time and trying to make it a habit rather than ‘I have to walk 15 minutes every day!’

I’m also working on portion control and well, I ate too much this morning for breakfast because I figured ‘it’s just sausage and egg it’ll be fine’ and well, I threw half of that up and wondered if that’s my body’s way of saying I just can’t eat that much anymore. I plan to get portion control plates to learn how to eat properly.

But is my plan fine? Is it okay to tune it up and rearrange stuff that I can’t do right now? Especially because of my current weight? I’m thinking too much about it but I’ve seen people bigger than me online do 10k steps a day and it gets me a little discouraged. But they’ve been doing it for a while so there’s that..

I also pace around my room and scroll on my phone sometimes to get in a little extra movement

I have ALWAYS dreamed of being under 200 and dressing how I truly want to because most clothes I love don’t come in my size! This is helping me a lot, the fashion side of it and overall health :) my ultimate dream is to do j-fashion type stuff and be able to fit into Japan sizes but that’s not where I am yet so, im focusing on small stuff :3. I love jirai kei, gothic lolita, black decora,dolly kei, that type of stuff:)

Anyways there’s my rant, sorry it was so long!!:,)
