ever since we had to be home and all that i gained so much weight ! 20 pounds over the past months . i feel my worst and look my worst . but point is i’m scared. i don’t want to continue gaining because i don’t want to get diabetes or additional health problems. i want to loose weight but i guess i’m not dedicated enough and always set up excuses (work and school). i guess there’s no motivation in me to workout , i feel like i need a work out buddy but none of my friends can . gaining 20 pounds has had a negative impact on me , i’m more insecure , self conseous , lower back problems (if you know how to fix that let me knowww) , and at my work i have to stand for a long period of time so it hurts my knees and legs. and then i start over thinking like oh what if it’s diabetes . i just need guidance to live a healthy lifestyle :(( or how to make healthy food because i don’t know how to cook :(

also i can’t post selfie’s anymore because you can tell i gained weight and it makes me so sad because before quarantine i was slowly gaining my confidence but boom it’s gone. and my clothes doesn’t fit like before that’s so embarrassing like what-

but honestly i do know what to do to loose weight i just don’t do it lol. i need to stop eating chips and iced coffee because i knowww that’s what ruined me >:( and just eat healthy and eliminate fast food and the food i eat at the restaurant i work. and just be active everyday atleast .

I know how you feel, been there and have tule 2 diabetes along with its buddy high blood pressure.

Let me tell you something the one that has control over your body is you, don’t let fear get a hold of you. The worse thing you can do is pick yourself apart so start loving yourself you’re perfect just the way you are. Yes, we make the mistake of putting on weight but I repeat this to everyone I talk to that weight isn’t gained overnight and is the same way about losing it, it’s not overnight but I can assure you this. That if you take control of your life even if you don’t know how to cook there basic things you can do to eat and cook clean. You want to stay in a range of 30-40 grams carbs per meal and 15 grams of carbs per snack. Time your meals, also if you can include fasting it would be great. You can also count your calories they say that in a week you can lose 2 lbs by taking 500 calories of your food intake daily. For instance if you eat 2500 calories a day and you eat 2000 calories you’ll lose weight weekly. On the cooking part is very simple thanks to YouTube, if you find things like “how long do I cook chicken for or low carb recetes with high protein and easy to do you’ll find a ton of things” just don’t overwhelm yourself. If you have questions let me know, I’ll gladly help.
