in Introduce Yourself
Hi!
Been opening and closing the app a million times in the last few days trying to find the motivation to do it all again.
I was very obese 15 years ago. Lost roughly 75 kg dieting and excercising...
Fast forward... in the last few years I changed country, went through some losses in my family, got married, pulled through a big crisis and had 2 daughters.
Looks like my life is about to change again and I feel the need to finally concentrate again on myself.
Not sure what’s to come. Looking for motivation and inspiration:)

    Firstly, well done for losing weight the first time - that proves that you can do this! You are your best source of inspiration - you know what your body and mind are capable of when you prioritise your health. Secondly, I think of obesity more as a disease like alcoholism - alcoholics do not stop being alcoholics when they stop drinking, they just become sober. In the same way, losing the weight doesn't make us get rid of obesity - the signs are gone but the slippery slope in our minds will always be there and like you say, when life throws a lot at you, that's precisely when you tend to go back to food. The best part is that you don't need to start from scratch - you know what it takes: time, consistency, attention, discipline, effort... And a whole lot of good attitude!

    Take the time to work on your relationship with food and rediscover your inner strength - it is clearly there. Good luck!!
