Taking my first step to a healthy lifestyle

A few days ago I went to the doctor for a check-up (The reason for the checkup isn't due to my weight, it was for a different issue.) which required me to do scans on my abdominal region. The doctor informed me that I have polycystic ovaries, a disorder that can result in a lot of complications later in life and can worsen when paired with obesity.

This, obviously, scared me. Scared me enough to want to lose weight and take charge of my life. Scared me because I want to live long. Scared me because I still had a lot of goals I've yet to achieve. Scared, yet ashamed because I wouldn't have been in this state if I didn't let myself go, and if I didn't give up a week after I tried to improve.

So here I am now. I refused to act from the thought of being fit and healthy, but the fear will fuel me to live a better life.

Day 1 starts now.
