I've been needing to lose a lot of weight for a long time. My boyfriend suggested posting here, since I'm on reddit so much. I'd never heard of this subreddit before and just looking at a couple of posts and comment threads, people are so wonderful and supportive. And I think having some external motivation would do me a lot of good.
I'm female, 21 years old, 5'5" and 262 lbs. In high school, I was active in sports but couldn't get under 180 lbs. Once college hit, I've been consistently gaining weight. Depression is at it's worse and it makes it so that I never have any motivation. ADHD is also very inhibiting for me. I'm currently working on those aspects with therapy, but it's a slow process.
I've been looking and feeling worse and worse, and it's too far for me now. I've never had knee pain in my life until recently. I want my quality of life to be better and I always hear so many stories of how people love exercise and improve their lives with better and healthier living. I want to look good for my wedding in the next two years. And I'm just tired of being the fat one out of my siblings. The difficult part for me is routine. I've always struggled with keeping any routine of any kind. I hate exercise. I dealt with it in sports because there wasn't anything else to do. But I get so irritable after any exercise. My diet isn't the best but I do cook for myself a lot.
It's time to change, but I'm not sure how or what to do, especially with my past failures. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this. Everyone here seems so wonderful and I look forward to integrating myself more into this community.
