Ex-Athlete Needing Support

Hey all!
I'm an ex-college athlete that's now nearing 25, and both of those factors plus a lack of motivation/the pandemic have led to quite the spike in weight for me! I'm trying to lose around 60 lbs, and I know it's not going to be easy at all. I'm a girl that really loves fashion and have been so discouraged recently by how clothes look on me, so I don't want to stay where I'm at because I'm normally so much more confident than this. I feel like I know what it'll take and have the means to do it, but don't have much of a support system. Honestly, I'm just looking everywhere I can for encouragement!

If anyone has anything that was once said to you that really helped light the weight-loss fire in your belly, I'd REALLY appreciate it! Thanks in advance!
