5’6” Female ; 22 yrs old; highest weight: 214 lbs CW:205 lbs
College turned into the College 60. I didn’t notice until things started to not fit right. I would see pictures of myself and I felt like I couldn’t find my face anymore. I’ve tried to explain what I mean by that to my fiancé but he couldn’t understand. I know what my face looks like and those pictures were not it! I get that as we get older our bodies change, but I haven’t done a very good job adapting to those changes. In high school i dropped to 135 lbs and got so much praise from my family. Little did they know I only ate dinner. I had stopped eating and I barely ate my dinners because i was “full”. Some days I’ll look in the mirror and think, “Ok, we just need to love ourself. Stop hating yourself.” then other days I just hate every part of myself.
I’ve tried different things like keto and just counting my calories and frankly, I struggle. I get lost when i do my own cooking and i can’t calculate the calories or the portion sizes. Then I’ll rely on prepackaged foods and those aren’t good for you either. It doesn’t seem to matter what I do. I’ll lose weight for a little while and then I’ll gain it right back. Life gets so busy. I just got my first big girl job and I’m LOVING it. However, it doesn’t help with getting my life together in the health area! I leave the house at 7:30 am and get back at 6:30 pm. I feel like I have no time in the day to anything. I’ve been meal prepping in a way. I’ll sit down on Sundays and make a “menu” of what I’ll have for the week. I’ll go to the grocery store and I’ll buy all the ingredients I need. As the week goes I’ll decide what I want that night. I was doing really well but then the coronavirus happened. I can’t get eggs or meat. It’s hard to plan when you don’t know what ingredients will be available.
When I did Keto I didn’t feel all the benefits everyone was talking about. I lost weight yeah, got the keto flu really bad, and then felt normal. Maybe I just adjusted. I tried Arbonne one time. Boy, let me tell you I’m never falling into one of those pyramid schemes again. Why do people pay $33 for a pack of 30 fizz sticks? They’re good, but if you can’t afford it I guess you don’t have the right to be healthy? Don’t come for me. That’s just my opinion.
I know I’m unhealthy. Especially when your mom calls you out for being overweight. I’m trying. I just can’t seem to stick to what I need to stick to. Thanks for coming to my ted talk/rant.
