I (36F) have been on a weight rollercoaster the last five years, after dramatically losing about 40lbs and experiencing what it was like to be "skinny" for the first time in my adult life in 2019, to gaining it all back and more slowly over the years, with some fluctuations in between. I'm now at the heaviest I've been in my life, I got to this point because of a variety of factors - aging, medications that ramped up the "food noise", traumatic experiences that made me turn to food to cope and caused a depression that made it hard to get out of bed, let alone work out.
In the last couple of years too, I've been beset by worsening hip pain due to a congenital impingement, and really bad back pain after suffering several sprains in succession. All this to say there are valid reasons for my weight gain, and valid reasons for why it's harder for me to lose weight, but it doesn't preclude the fact that I am responsible for getting my weight back down to a healthy level.
I want to gain more muscle to age better
I want to lose weight to feel more mobile and in control of my body
I want to improve my self confidence overall
I am just so overwhelmed, because in the past few years every time I attempted to "start" a weight loss journey, something has happened to throw me off. I'm worried I'm caught in this loop and I'll only get heavier and heavier from here. How do I get over this and start again? (Also i considered taking a GLP1 but i simply cannot afford it)
