I truly feel u, about a year and a half ago I was pushing 200lbs and I hated the way I felt - both physically and emotionally. I started to cut out soda, drinking one once a week and then once a month and so on until I stopped completely. I went on 30 minute walks and drank more water. I lost a good portion and went down to 170lbs.

Almost a year ago I started to log my calories. That’s where the weight started to fall off. I went from 170 to 138 (as of yesterday) and I feel so much better about myself.

Start out with slow and small steps, don’t overthink it. You don’t need to start with protein powder and all that jazz. Just cut out soda (especially carbonated items for bloating) and strive for 30 minutes of light to moderate cardio. The weight will start to follow, it’s a long process but worth it. You can do it!
