in Motivation and Support
Hi Everyone,
I have been struggling with weight and health issues for my whole life. It has gotten to the worst point, and long story short I am forcing myself to make a change. I deal with mental health issues along with it, and that contributes to my binge eating. I have slowly been trying to make changes. I try to walk when I can, and I try to eat meals and snacks at a set schedule and stay under my calorie allotment. At my huge weight (530 currently) it is hard to make changes especially physically. I have lost 40 pounds sense August so trying to stay positive about that. Anyways, I guess I'm reaching out because I don't have much support. I do have a therapist, doctor, and am trying to get a nutritionist. I am wondering if anyone out there has any suggestions for online support? Any suggestions for blogs, vlogs, or other things along those lines to motivate me? Any suggestions for YouTube channels to look at? I guess I am just looking for any type of support I can find because I don't have any and I'm really struggling keeping up the progress I have made. Thanks.

    Hey,
    If it helps, feel free to add me as a friend.
    It's a huge challenge but with some moral support and dedication it's definitely doable. We're all in the same boat, trying to achieve the unimaginable. In my case it's going to the doctor and not getting the same advice for all possible ailments...lose weight :p !

    I’ve struggled with my weight all my life, too. It’s so hard to break life-long habits!! And exercising makes me feel like I’m dying! 🥵😩😂 But I’m doing it because I HAVE to. Good job on losing 40 lbs 🎉 Feel free to add me as a friend. We can all use as much moral support as we can get so we can crush our weight loss goals and live a long and healthy life!! ❤️
