Have been a member of this group for a couple years...I've yo-yo'ed so much I can't even tell you how many times. I'm frustrated by what I see in the mirror, how I feel walking semi-long distances, and tired of feeling crappy after nutrition-less snacks.
Lately, however, what's got me at my boiling point is the fear of how this will all affect my future. I told my amazing boyfriend that I don't want to get engaged until I am in a far healthier state (not X amount of pounds per se, but somewhere better). I don't want to look at my wedding pictures and feel shame. I don't want to feel gross in a dress I had to settle for. And most of all, I don't want to risk my future children's happiness and health because *I* couldn't get it together. The thought of not being able to chase my kids around or hold my babies because of my poor health kills me.
My future husband and children deserve nothing but the absolute best version of myself, and that's not me right now. Maybe it's wrong to equivocate my value as a wife/mother/woman with my health, but it goes beyond vanity. It's about living out the rest of my life fully and comfortably.
So I'm putting it out there that sometimes your reason for doing something doesn't exist yet. Please share below if you have a similar experience or advice you can share with me, because I am really struggling to push myself in a consistent, meaningful way. Wishing everyone here safety and wellness and thank you for always being an awesome community.
