Hey there! I've been putting this off for a while because my shyness (social anxiety, severe awkwardness, tomayto tomahto) makes me second guess what to say and how to start here... but I'm reaching a breaking point and am hoping having an outlet to get and give support will be the little push I need.
I had lost 90lbs over the course of several years. Then, over another several years, gained it all back. A lot of things happened to contribute - a divorce, a tumultuous relationship following that, dealing with mental illness and ultimately just learning how to get control of my life. That lead to a lot of emotional eating and fitness got tossed very far to the wayside.
But, if I'm being honest, the main obstacle preventing me from getting back on the weight loss wagon right now is a don't care anymore. Looks was my main motivator when I was younger, but now it doesn't matter to me that much. Yes I would like to look better, but I look okay, so passing up that muffin at work or the candy and netflix with my hunny at night is much harder. Overall I'm happy now, and previously I got myself to stick to weight loss by making myself miserable and I was never satisfied with my results.
What I do want is to feel better physically. I'm sick of joint/muscle aches and constant fatigue. I know that if I ate healthier, got back in shape, and dropped even a little weight it would make a difference. But my actions are directly contradicting that goal. So I need to whip myself into shape and re-learn some healthy habits.
