I started trying to lose weight 6 months ago, and I am only a few lbs away from my goal of 165 (started 225). I wanted to share my small victory of staying on the wagon for 6 months as well as how I approached doing it. (Progress pics at the bottom)
6 months ago I never thought I could do it. I had doubts, I had worries, I constantly thought to myself "I can't do this, I'm a fucking moron to even try". Since I was a kid I've always been overweight, that must just be how I am. I'm supposed to be like this. But none of that was true. I ended up finding not motivation but willpower. I made a deliberate conscious choice that I wasn't going to listen to my internal bullshit anymore. I wasn't going to give in to the inner me saying "It's just one day of snaking, just relax" or "You don't need to work out today, you went yesterday". Sometimes the inner me would win and I failed, but that just made me all the more stubborn. It made me mad. I would get angry at myself and I think that's okay. I think its okay that I get pissed at myself for slipping up because that makes me push even harder. I don't dwell on what made me angry, but I use that anger to get through the next day, the next week, the next month.
I'm sure that the way i'm doing things isn't the best, but it seems to work for me. So maybe it will work for somebody out there struggling as well.
