I just want to love my body. I want to lose weight because whenever I look at my body I just see that girl who is so extremely depressed and out of control. But then I feel bad sometimes because all I hear is “you should love body and everybody is trying to brainwash you into thinking you want to lose weight.” It’s so frustrating because I feel like people don’t hear me when I’m telling them why I want to lose weight. Then all the dietitians are like all diets are bad and everything has nutrition. At this point I don’t care about all the theories I just wish somebody would tell me how I can reach my goal sustainably while gaining control of myself again and feeling strong again. I feel like no one is telling me. Sometimes I just lay in bed and cry because I feel so stuck and frustrated. I don’t know what to do.

Hey, I know a ton about nutrition, weight loss. I can walk you through it. Send me a message, if you’re interested. I like to share the knowledge. I can make it very simple for you. It seems impossible but you can change your eating habits very quickly and make progress very quickly.
Sometimes it’s not about dieting that makes you love your body. I started working out at home last year (before the pandemic) and am so proud of how strong I’ve become over the year. I use obé fitness, it’s a streaming platform that has Live or Replay classes. They have a great supportive community. Try something like that for movement then little by little incorporate meal changes. Maybe eating half of everything you would normally eat. For myself I like to cut down (not cut out) on carbs, when I need to lose.
I know I totally get you! I've been on a journey where I lost a lot of weight, and hated my body 100% until I reached "my goal" then I thought I was allowed to love myself, but this time I am trying to respect my body as the wonderful machine it is, and also learning wear whatever I want. It's a process, but the biggest help is not caring what other people think, it's my life, it's my body, if you don't like it? Be someone else's friend, don't look at me then! Don't listen to all the bullsh#£! And media, you are allowed to love yourself, while trying to improve your health, your a work of art in progress X X X
