Iā€™m overweight too.:crazy_face:

I would like to be ten kg lighter in a healthy way but there are more important things in life than looks such as peace of mind, sanity, love , deep connection and compassion, being genuine and true and knowing oneself n feeling like oneself etc

Best wishes for us.
Chubby ones.

Even we can be loved.:open_mouth:
By someone out there surely.
If not by ourselves atleast hey.
N respect.

Itā€™s good that you can cook.

Just avoiding overeating and cutting sugar a little has helped me lose some.

I plan on getting a little more aggressive and cutting all sugar,

But my therapist recommended small changes.

You can lose weight if you want to.

Still, you need to appreciate and love your body where you are now.

If I were you, Iā€™d do these affirmations youā€™re always posting aloud, in the mirror.

Might help your self esteem while youā€™re losing weight.

Iā€™ve been obese for most of my life. At one point I started walking and I lost weight, and kept walking and lost more weight, then walking alone wasnā€™t enough so I sort of ran a little and power walked. I was in the best shape of my life and felt really good. But I came down with a major depressive episode and they had to start messing with my meds and 90 pounds later Iā€™m morbidly obese.

Iā€™m unable to get out and walk much at this point. I do as much as I can which is little walks around the complex. But I am dieting now and have recently lost 10 pounds. Iā€™m hoping to lose enough to increase my walking soon, then the weight will really start to come back off.

Iā€™m working on losing weight so I can get knee replacement surgeryā€¦lost 65 lbs so far, have another 20 or so to get my BMI in range to qualify. I just asked my mom if sheā€™ll fly up next year if I have the surgery to help me out and she said she would. Iā€™m so happy about that, it gives me a bigger incentive.

It makes me feel more insecure.

Only seem like I get to be cinderella for a day then itā€™s back to, ā€œAh. That wasnā€™t worth it anyway.ā€.

Feels like to stay at a healthy weight you have to be willing to risk feeling insecure and being seen. And then being okay with being that weight and comfortable in your skin.

Relative to everyone else in my family Iā€™m pretty ā€˜smallā€™ and when I went out like thatā€¦ people compared me to my brother and referred to me as the small one. x_x;

Part of me right now is feeling like, ā€œLetā€™s just eat some cake and peanut butter and pizza and go crazy! Who cares anyway?ā€.
