This is my last time starting over, again.

Hi all, first post here and I’m not really sure where to start. Also I’m posting from mobile so sorry if the formatting is a bit messy.

HW: 198 CW: 190 GW: 160

Growing up I was always the bigger girl, I think I was 5’ tall, 160 pounds by the time I was 10, 5’7 and 180 by 12 and creeping up to 5’9 and 198 at my highest at 15 or so and maintaining that until 19. I should add that I did Keto at 16, lost 30 pounds and then couldn’t keep doing Keto and gained it all back. That really fucked with my self esteem.

I moved out on my own from my parents at 19, weighing 198. In the first year surviving off of eggs, ramen noodles and pasta I dropped down to 175, and for the first time ever I liked my adult body. I lost 10 more pounds and maintained between 160 and 165. And then, I fell in love.

My high school biology teacher told me that when you fall in love, you get fat together. Boy did we. I gained most of my weight back in the year I’ve been with my boyfriend. Today, 4 weeks until my 21st birthday, I weigh 190 pounds. Gaining the 25-30 pounds back has really taken a toll on my self esteem. My boyfriend loves my body as is, but I don’t. I keep thinking back to how HOT I was when we first met. Makes me sad. So now I’m putting it out there and doing something about it and making a plan.

I have a gym membership, have for months. I’ve used it once. EMBARRASSING. I’m gonna go get my moneys worth. I’ve used MyFitnessPal for years, but downloaded the Noom app for a fresh start. I’m going to start intermittent fasting as well. I like counting calories because I don’t like denying myself what I love, but I find myself eating literally all day. I have an app for that as well, I believe it’s called Zero.

So there it is folks, that’s my story so far. Thanks for reading, I look forward to my journey and hearing about yours as well!
