Losing weight while anxious, insecure, and depressed 😜
I haven't been on here very long and I haven't done anything related to the community, but as someone that has been kind of overweight most of their life and got to a point where I kind of just accepted that was how I was gonna be, i would like to say it's possible for people even with that mentality. Sometimes it's hard…

eating healthy
Focus less on how much u eat and more what u eat. Food is fuel! Too much fuel is still better than using the wrong types of fuel! I was surprised how much eating differently helped me feel. I realize food can be the best medicine or the slowest acting poison

The power of Habit!
Okay this might sound like rambling, but looking into the psychology of habits helped me a ton. I was surprised how much eating snacks or unhealthy food is more of a habit formed than an active choice. (While there are eating disorders that can affect this though) For me, making a habit of eating healthy was the first…

Thoughts on fitness
I think of fitness more in terms of my whole health triangle: mental emotional health, social health, and physical health. I was surprised how much trying to lose weight helped all aspects of that. It didn't make me magically love myself, but it has helped learn I can work towards something...u all should be proud of that…

Weird things after losing weight
For one. No one told me I would have this extreme habit to look in the mirror every time I see one. Like...borderline weird about it. Not because I like to check myself out (mirrors were made by satan lol) but because I would always have to check and make sure I still had lost weight. I keep having to double check to make…

Insecure about going to gym?
I know I was. I was basically a potato surrounded by athletes. My tip that is simple and maybe stupid. INVEST IN A STEPPER OR EXERCISE BIKE. Before I was slightly more fit, I was too insecure to go to the gym because I had no endurance and looked confused as hell. However, simply using a stepper at home while I was…

Things I learned after losing weight
While this may sound like a negative thing, it isn't. However, I thought losing weight would make me automatically love myself. But it did not. I'm still hard on me. But that's okay. What losing weight taught me is that I could commit to bettering myself and working towards being happy even though I had already accepted I…

If u feel like u "failed" ur diet
This is a simple message but one that helps me sometimes. Remember you are only one meal away from trying to be a healthier u. Eating unhealthy or eating a snack just means ur the next step to getting back on track

HAVE A GREAT DAY
Be proud of each day u make it through. It isn't easy for everyone. 😜

I wish I knew when I started losing weight #2
Weight fluctuating is normal. ESPECIALLY if u drink tons of water like me. I know people say "dont look at the scale" and it isn't bad advice, however I know for me that was my only way of objectively tracking my progress. So if you are someone that checks the scale daily, know that fluctuation even between 6 to 10 lbs can…

THINGS I WISH I KNEW WHEN I STARTED LOSING WEIGHT
I may occasionally add to this but these are just some things I wish I knew before my weight loss. You can actually be more flexible with what you eat. While you should not only eat processed foods, losing weight has more to do with simply Calories in vs Calories out. While one can from over consumption and eating…

Food anxiety
:# So I'm by no means an expert, but I just wanted to know if others relate. I'm learning to be better, but I used to borderline obsess over eating healthy. Not only that lot of situations related to food could totally ruin my day. I would miss social events simply if I knew people were eating. Not because i didn't want to…

TIPS AND TRICKS 🙂 (feel free to share)
If ur getting started and know u have little to no endurance; my advice would be to get a stepper. That is what I did. I would tell myself I was only allowed to play video games and watch TV if I was using the dang stepper!

Hi
Hi...so yah I'm anti social so I have avoided the community like the plague. I basically have realized that it is possible despite being someone that "accepted" being overweight and that I couldn't get better. A lot of people I tend to talk to that are working to get in better shape aren't always similar to me. They…
