It’s Day 1 for me

After many “I’ll start Monday” and then screwing up and starting the next Monday, I decided today is the day.

I was thin before I got pregnant with my last child who is now 13. Since then I have gained 50 pounds and hate everything about myself. I tend to keep my weight in my stomach area so I feel even worse for some reason

There are no family photos that I am in, we went to Europe last year and there might be one photo of me that I begrudgingly posed for. I made a beautiful photo book for my kids and I am not in one single photo

I just started a new job and my confidence is not good as I’m too fat for anyone to take me seriously, etc. It’s just the loathing and disgust I have for myself and it’s hard to change.

I have a great husband and partner, we are fine financially and my kids are great.

So today is day 1 for me!!!

Current weight 186 Realistic Goal weight is 140 I’m 5’4 and 48 years old

My plan is 1200 calories and exercising 4-5 days a week. Planning on a hour walk tonight and will likely be buying a stationery bike or elliptical. My treadmill just bit the dust.

Also wanting to start couch to 5k as I used to be a major runner in highschool and afterwards.

Looking forward to getting some good advice here. I need all the help I can get!!

Thanks for reading.
