Just wanted to share a thought. This is one difficult journey, so I figured something that helped me might help someone else.
I've found that when I try to lose weight because I hate my body, it turns my goals into something negative. I feel like I'm not good enough and don't deserve to have a nice life because my body is the way it is. When I was a teenager, I felt like I wasn't even a real human being because of my body.
If we can learn to love our bodies, we can nourish it with healthy food and exercise - not punishing ourselves for overindulgent behavior and running away.
I now think of my body simply like a car. I put good things in and maintain it as best I can, to get a long time of good use out of it. When I die, parts of it might benefit another car, who knows?
If you're starting out at a place where you're losing weight because you don't like yourself, it's okay. You need healing and love, and hopefully you can come to a place where you know you're worthy of every good thing the world has to offer you.
Losing weight sucks, but this mindset is helping me. I don't just love this sub because of the weight loss help, but because so many people can relate to my experiences as a big person.
