What Is The REAL Reason You Aren't Losing Weight? ***UPDATE***

[wittyscreenname]

This isn't a bash the fatties post.

This isn't a post about how fat people who aren't losing weight are lazy. There's a lot more to it than that and I just want to see other fellow BBW reasons.

My husband and I were talking about this last night, because I'm about to start my journey in to getting healthy. *Note, I said HEALTHY.....not thin. My goal is to be around 150*. My biggest problem is that my weight has caused me to become a hermit. I am too embarassed to leave my house, I'm too embarassed to get out there and walk or join the gym or whatever. I feel like I'm being judged by people for my weight. I try to work out at home, but that gets boring and I lose my motivation. I need something that will PUSH me, that will challenge me, with someone who won't let me quit when my wall comes up. But I can't afford a personal trainer and Chris Powell just simply won't come live with me (that's a joke). I told my husband that he doesn't understand what it's like to have depression that is triggered by low self esteem. The only cure for it is to have higher self esteem, but in order to do that, I need to lose weight.

What are some of your reasons?

I'm lazy and I love food.

 For me.... I like food and I hate to exercize. That about sums it up.

Honestly?  Diet is the whole battle for me.  Depression has caused me to put the weight on and I know eating is a great comfort for me but even on my best mental health days I still over eat.  It's a whole lifestyle that you have to un-do.  I love food,  plain and simple. 

I started out with baby steps.  First it was cutting out certain things from my diet,  and making healthier choices,  and starting some video's.  Now I eat only whole foods vegan and I am training for a 10k.  You will get there.  Give it time.
