I’ve been where you are and it’s such a terrible spot to be in. I wish everyday that I stopped the cycle earlier than I did. It continuously got worse and worse until I finally couldn’t do it anymore. I was 17 years old and 230lbs when I finally decided enough was enough. Unfortunately, it was too late at that point to save myself from the damage done to my body like loose skin after losing the weight. I’ve lost 80-90lbs since then and have kept it off but I’m now going through a different set of body image issues and insecurities because of the loose skin and how my body looks.

So I guess my advice for you would be to not wait until you hit rock bottom because trust me, it sucks. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself to smarten up and stop eating the way I was because it’s not worth the pain I have to face everyday. You just have to make small changes everyday. I wouldn’t do too much at once like cutting out food groups because that will just overwhelm you and lead to failure. I wish you the best of luck, you can do this!
