18 yo F 5'0" - SW: 170 GW: 115
Ever since I remember I was the chubby kid everywhere I went. That could be partly because my mum tried to make up her absence with lots of sweets and candy.
But looking back I wasn't ever that fat. Maybe a couple of pounds more than the average child but I wasn't overweight. I just thought I was, and how I couldn't when my older sister was so small and skinny due to her running around all day and rougher upbringing (she's 10 years older).
It wasn't until I started high school and I left home to study 100 km away that I put on 10 kg (22 pounds) and went from 55 to 65. But it still wasn't that bad. I could still manage it and maybe lose it some day.
Last year I spent 2 months at my sister's house in London and because she and her husband had to wake up at 5 to go to work and couldn't make it home until 6 or 7 my sleeping schedule and eating habits got really messed up again. I was binge watching shows until 4.30 or even right before their alarm rang and of course I would be having my dinner at that hour because I woke up at 4 in the afternoon and what could go better than a bowl of cereal? And that's how I gained another 22 pounds
And when they got back from work I would always try and match their appetite even if I wasn't hungry because other people are eating and that meant That I should too right?
But between those 2 I didn't gain anything even tough I could eat pretty badly at times. Exercise was never something that I would do gladly or with ease.
My goal is to lose about 55 pounds. I had other attempts over the last couple of years where I realised that while I may not like exercising in general that the gym isn't that bad but I need some motivation to go there because once I get there I really enjoy it.
But this fall I'm starting my last year of high school and I'm afraid that my lizard brain will just find excuses to not go because of all the extra hours of tutoring that I'll take until the end of the year.
What could I do to prevent it from stopping me from doing the right thing?
