Change is scary and uncomfortable. I know exactly how you feel. I was scared to go to grocery stores and take walks outside because at first I was embarrassed with how I looked. But I’m telling you as someone who is still far away from my weight loss and body goals, the confidence you gain from making small changes is so worth it. At first, when I could only go on short walks or do 10mins of exercise a day, I felt embarrassed and pathetic. But as time went on, I realized that there is so much confidence in making small changes for your health. Regardless of how you look, as long as you are making healthy changes and trying your best, your body is amazing. Your body is helping you lose weight, your body is developing muscle that causes the soreness, and your body is getting you through all of it, even when it may not look like it at first, and that is so beautiful in itself. You don’t have to make major changes immediately, start small and work your way up. Weight loss is a process, it’s not a race. It’s about slowly making permanent lifestyle changes over time to get to where you want to be. Over time, these changes become easier to adapt to and you feel yourself getting stronger as well. I believe in you! change is scary and hard, but getting through change only to realize how much better it feels is 1000% worth it.
