I've done this before, I found my huge appetite and calorie counting, trying to lose weight so fast to impress everyone, that it became incredibly overwhelming and I eventually gave up (unfortunately) and got depressed because of it! But now with my fitbit, a treadmill, my bike and summer is almost here, I can finally do this again! I'm done trying to lose weight for others, I'm just going to focus on me one thing at a time. Hopefully the less I stress the more fun it will be and I can stay focused this time and get somewhere. Now it's not so much about losing weight for me and others (because I'm finally accepting who I am) but the fact that I struggle to function daily doing typical every day things because I'm always running out of breath and in pain from carrying all this weight! So I just need to take things slower and just be able to become a little more active, and patient, and having fun while doing it! Having social anxiety and mostly staying at home to avoid people is mostly what caused me to gain all this weight in the first place, so I just need to get up and move more than I have been these last 7 years when I started to gain all the weight to where I'm at now. Maybe now that things are different than they were when I started this before, I'll actually have better luck and be successful with all of this this time!

Here's my treadmill/fitbit activity that I started today, it's not much, but it's to remind me to not get so discouraged and to do a little at a time!
