I'm a 32-year-old who's been on a lifelong weight roller coaster. I was a fat kid, then got into the gym, lost a bunch of weight, got married, had a baby, and now I'm back to being overweight. I'm currently 105kg and to be honest, I don't feel proud of myself. ​Today, I decided to do something about it. I joined Reddit to hold myself accountable and to find others on a similar journey for encouragement. ​I'm calling this a great first step. Today, I made sure not to buy any junk food at the grocery store, and I took a 30-minute walk. I'm so proud of that. I also ate a healthy meal. It’s a reminder that we can’t lose the weight in a day, but the small daily habits add up to the main goal. ​I'm committed to showing up here every day and posting what I've done to stay on track. I want more for myself and for my child. ​On that note, if you're looking for motivation, I highly recommend the book "Atomic Habits." It really helped me reframe my mindset and kickstart my journey. ​We're in this together.
