Hiya ladies and chicas! I’ve been trying to lose weight for a very long time. I’m been over weight since the 3rd grade and having been trying to lose weight since 6th grade. So, I’ve practically been for 7 years (since I was 12 years old). I’m 19 years old now and have been failing miserably! (People day I’m still young and can do so easily, however that hasn’t been the case.) I’ve been to gyms, tried diets, bought work out programs (ex. 21 Day Fix), worked out from home, gone walking, hell even tried moving to another state just so my grandma could help me twice! And still nothing. It wasn’t been all bad, I was going strong when I turned 18 (by mostly going on a salad only diet) and noticeably lost weight and started fitting things. Last year, I went through so much anxiety and crippling depression. It was really fucking hard. I ended up gaining 40 pounds on top of the weight I already had and now I weigh more than I’ve ever had at 279 pounds. It’s honestly effecting my whole life even though I know it shouldn’t. I really need to lose weight now because of my health and so I can live my life in a body that not only makes me feel happy and comfortable but one that doesn’t bring me pain. Actual pain, I can’t stand or walk too long because I have really bad foot pain and constant back pain, even had to go to the hospital because of eye pressure that started because of that weight gain. I don’t even look into mirrors anymore, because my body looks really bad. I know that’s bad too. I just really need help. So, I guess I said all of that just to say that, I really need help.

I would love to lose weight. I know I can’t be the only one to go through this, and I’m asking because I don’t want to give up on myself anymore. I need to love all of me, and I believe everyone deserves to love all of them. Any advice you could give would be super helpful and I’d be paternally grateful. And if you’re going through this too you’re not alone. Thank you so much in advance and God bless you all 🙏
