Feeling excited 😊

Hey y'all I'm Kaitlyn 😊 I started my weight loss journey 2 months ago and I've lost 51 pounds! My highest weight was 289 and I'm currently at 238! I started going to the gym 3 days ago after like 3 years and I even made a girl friend! She's super sweet so that really helps me in knowing I won't be alone and I can yap because I love to yap. I have struggled with eating disorders my entire life. I was always in a smaller body and then life just was lifing and you all know how that goes. I wasn't truly living though. Pregnancy put a good number of pounds on me and being at home with the child also did that. There are many reasons I can tell you that contributed to my weight gain but I can tell you what I've done to get it off so far. I genuinely am not on a diet. I count calories some days but not all, I just count protein and I like to know how many cals the meals I am eating have. I don't restrict anything. I started with, smaller portions, cutting out drinking my calories, going on a 30 minute walk no matter what everyday, pairing a protein with a veggie and a carb, TRYING NEW FOOD, telling myself NO, and not allowing things like sugar to control me. As I'm only in the beginning of my journey but I really want to express to everyone that you have to find something that works for you, that you know you can do forever, and THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. You want to sustain this forever and live healthily and happily. In order to do so you have to do what you like and what shows results. Listen to your body, and be mindful. Put yourself out there and make friends 💕 I just wanna give someone some hope because I know what hopelessness feels like, and if you ever need a friend I am here and I'll listen. I'll give advice if it's wanted. You aren't alone and I want everyone in this sub to know that I'm proud of you and YOU SHOULD BE TOO. I love you all 🌹☀️
