Whole life only about weight loss

Hey guys,

as the title suggests, I have been on and off eating healthily and sports for probably since I was 13 or so and I am so sick of it. I am so sick of promising myself not to touch any sweets starting (insert next day) because if I even nib on something I will binge 3-4k calories worth of sweets. I am sick of constantly telling everybody to please not pressure me as I am trying to lose weight, and them slowly starting to not believe me. I am sick of counting the calories perfectly for weeks to see minimal results and getting frustrated with myself and binge. I am sick of my face getting swolen and getting more self-conscience the more I gain weight.

I have never been this heavy before in my life, I always had a certain number that I would never cross even if I binged my life out but I crossed it. I lost my motivation even though all I really want in life is to be at my goal weight? It is so absurd. If I pushed through 3-4 months I would probably see amazing results but I am just so exhausted I can't make it past a week. I just want it all to stop, to never hear the word "dieting", "weight", "calories" etc ever again, to never step on a scale again, to never be sad when I even catch a glimpse of me in the mirror. I can't even buy me new clothes because I "will buy them when I reach my goal weight as I am on my weight loss rn and I don't want to waste money" or because if I desperately need clothes because my old ones got to small I get a mental breakdown at the mall. I am still relatively young so maybe this plays a part in how I feel (you know social media, mannequins in stores or how the majority of young girls are skinny in my area).

I am sorry for the long rant, I am just done with all of this and I am just "overweight" and it is "not that bad". I don't want to put down the mood as everyone makes great accomplishments that I am so proud and happy for! There was also a time in which I lost so much weight and was at my smallest, but I don't have the motivation to pull through even though I desperately need it to get my life, hell myself back. Maybe some of you can emphasize! Thank you for reading this through.

My weight loss journey

I started working out at the beginning of September I was at around 230 pounds, I was getting long winded after walking up 2 flights of stairs. It was getting to the point where I even struggled getting up off the floor. I used to be skinny but I started eating out comfort after a bad break-in, moved got a new apartment and was paranoid about the guy who broke in on me coming after me. Long story short I eat unhealthy and rarely moved around and not doing physical activity, I stayed in my comfort zone just playing games and watching TV. But now that I began working out and changing my diet I'm down to 200 lbs and working towards my goal of 170 lbs.

NSV: stopped eating when I was full!

Y’all. No one irl will understand why this is such a big deal to me so I’m posting it here because I need to get it out.

Today I went to brunch with a friend. The place isn’t a chain so they aren’t required to have calories on the menu.. and they didn’t. Fine, not the end of the world.

I love waffles so I ordered one and it was and it was fucking delicious. MORE IMPORTANTLY I stopped eating when I was full. Not when I was stuffed...I stopped eating when I no longer felt hungry.

I left half that waffle behind. It sat in front of me on my plate for about 30 minutes while my friend finished her meal. I don’t think I’ve ever not finished my plate at a restaurant. Part of that is because I’m paying for it and feels wasteful (in more way than one) to throw out the rest. Or, if the person I’m with is still eating I’ll keep picking at my plate until they’re done.

I know this is how normal people eat all the time but I’m proud of myself. Knowing that I CAN do this makes me realize that I don’t have to isolate myself or stop socializing during my weight loss journey.

Thanks for reading :)

30 Day Accountability Challenge - December Sign ups!

Hello lovely losers! Happy almost December!

A new month is starting which means a new Daily Accountability Challenge!

This is the sign up post to make your goals for the month.

There will be a daily post for you to post your progress on said goals.

At the end of the month, there will be a wrap up to talk about your general progress & how you feel about everything! If you miss the sign up post, you're always welcome to hop in, the waters fine! You can also read everyone else's progress & commiserate, congratulate & whatever else needs ating. Your goals can be weight loss or general health related, creative, self care or whatever else you need to focus your mental energy on. We try to foster a supportive place to chat about your successes & failures & what you've learned from both.

Leading by example, here are my goals, subject to mild tweaks as needed!

Weight by end of month (217 - 214 lbs, preferably trend weight): I’m going to be real with you folks, I will always aim for deficit but with all the life changes I’ve had in the last six months, I’m okay with maintaining this month. December is fraught with festivity & other less joyous things. I need to be compassionate to myself not just others.

Stay within calorie range: May or may not keep the day count on this. X/X days.

Exercise 5 days a week: Habitual but I always want to be chasing intensity & more strength. X/X days.

Limit purchased coffee drinks (3 a week), if exceeded, $25 donation: I feel like I should be working towards spending less money on coffees out but I also recognize that sometimes it’s one last indulgence I haven’t cut out. So this solution makes me feel balanced. X/13 allowed.

Self-care time (drawing, journaling, beauty treatments, anything that makes me feel taken care of):

Try a new recipe once a week: I like to add to my recipe book. X/5 weeks.

Finish The Body Keeps the Score: It’s kinda self-care too.

Note something jolly every damn day: Ho ho ho bitches. Get Grinched.

Your turn losers, tell us all about the month ahead for you!

Question: Hair loss

SW:208 GW:145 CW:150

I am nearing the end of my weight loss journey. I started last December at 208 and am now 150! While my body is starting to feel better, my hair is not. Closer to my 170 range I noticed my hair thinning a bit and asked my doctor and she said it was maybe from weight loss. I am feeling so unattractive about my hair currently and am at a loss of what to do. I am using Pura D'or Shampoo and Conditioner. I am not blow drying my hair or straightening it. I am taking a women's multivitamin (with biotin and collagen) as well. Will my hair go back to how it used to be? I don't know what else to do. T_T

TL;DR Hair is thinning will it grow back?

“What do you eat today?” Leave me alone.

Okay so I’m back home for break and I’ve saw a couple people I haven’t seen since I was fat as hell, and I get they just won’t shut up. I keep getting asked “What did you eat today” over and over like why do y’all care.. and one of them is always asking me, it’s so annoying.

The most annoying moment was when I was first asked this and I said a chimichanga covered with cheese and some chips (it was good as hell btw) and immediately here they come with “That isn’t healthy” “aren’t you supposed to be eating clean” “why would you eat that?” “Ooo omg wow” I just try to get them to understand I can eat what I want and losing weight and getting healthy doesn’t mean I have to go cold turkey on any type of junk food? I get annoyed really quickly and I snap back with so what tf did you eat today... but I get no response and the conversation quickly changes LMAO! The funniest/most annoying part is is that these people were all smaller than me before (since we’ve known each other) and then actually got big, it blows my mind they really think they have any room to worry about my eating choices. Mind y’all I do a 80/20 split AND since I’m on thanksgiving break I’ve decided to not even count calories just eat what I want but in moderation.

I get it, it’s different for them to see me this way because oh have the turntables... but geez I literally don’t give a shit about what they eat now or when I was heavy, all in all the weight loss process is a very interesting experience lol

Edit: If you got the reference at the end you’re amazing

Looking for exercises I can do to gradually lose weight.

I'm a 17 year old college student, still living at home. I've been slowly but surely changing my diet for the better by cutting out sugary drinks and junk food. In regards of regular diet, I'd say I'm getting better by the day. My current dilemma is the exercise I should be doing. Currently I walk an average of 3-6 hours 4 days a week. I don't get much time at home as I spend most of my time at college and I either get straight on Xbox or go to sleep once I get home. I'm looking for some exercises I can spend a bit doing before or after college that will help me with gradual weight loss.

If anybody could recommend or link some I'd appreciate it.
