I know some people have shown some tough love, but it's all from a place of caring
I think everyone has a different kicker that gets them to that place where they FINALLY are ready to commit to weight loss. For me, it was 1) going from blonde to brunette, I didn't want to wear black clothes AND have dark hair, and none of my colored tops looked good. Oddly enough....that did it, and 2) finding a sports bra I could run in without needing to use my arms to hold up my girls!
You need to find your inner motivation. Not the guy you used to talk to on facebook, not for your man, but for you. I suggest focus on setting small goals, not an entire overhaul on your life. Like today, my goal was not to eat carbs (in the form of bread, pasta, oatmeal, stuff like that). Not because I think carbs are evil or because I want to never eat carbs again, but because I know I turn to carbs to feel full and I want to show myself how I can get full off proteins and veggies.
Loosing weight is full of challenges. In order to be strong enough to face and overcome them, you have to believe in yourself. Can I make a suggestion on where to start? Can you change your user name? Do you want to be fat and depressed....or do you want to be healthy and happy?
Having friends is so important....I hear that. When I moved to TX a few years ago, I left all my friends and family behind. In the almost 5 years I've been here, I've only recently begun to have a few really good girlfriends. Look for common interest groups, start reaching out to people in your area. With New Years around the corner, many people have goals to get fit. Are you ready to join a group with that mindset?
Ultimately, it starts with you. Are YOU ready to change?
