The Beginning (TW: Weight)
Hello, My name is Lynn. At the time of writing I am 22 years old and I am nearly 200lbs. Yikes I know. I wanted to start writing down my feelings through weight loss, not only for myself to look back on, but also for people who like me are struggling to start. Today was hard, I went shopping so I can begin the 30 day nutrition schedule laid out in Superhero Nutrition by Steve Ezim. It was stressful. Through the entire shopping trip I was in my own head. "Am I really ready for this?" "Am I just going to fail again?" "All of this money spent on something I'm just going to give up.". Now you may be wondering why these things even crossed my mind. That's because my weight loss journey didn't begin here. I wish I could tell you I was a success story, that I just started one day and was able to stick to it and kick the pounds. The truth is that I have actually been trying for over two years now. I have failed every single time. Food has always been a comfort thing for me, ever since I was a kid. It took away the pain of life just for that small moment. It scares me to think that I wont be able to indulge and binge. I don't really know how else to cope. I know it's that way for a lot of people like me. But I need to make a change. I've seen the weight in my family quite literally kill. I'm tired of being the fat one in the room. I want to feel good in my body, I want to make the people around me proud. But most importantly I want to learn to love myself. I don't think I have loved myself for as long as I can remember. I'm tired of taking the easy street in life. I'm ready to find comfort in the discomfort. I hope I can inspire people along the way. I'll be updating every day with what I'm eating, what I'm doing, and my weight tracking. I'll also be going in depth to what's going on in my head through my journey. Lets kick this together!
I also made a discord for like minded people, so we can uplift each other and seek advice.
