Hi I am a Australian 19 year old female.
I have recently moved from the country to the city to pursue my tertiary studies. Since moving I have noticed I've gained a fair bit of weight. I used to run nearly every day and eat rather healthy but I guess the major change in my life has made me unmotivated. To be honest I think I've spent most of this year cursing my situation, I am a country girl and found the transition from a tropical paradise up north to PERTH really frieken hard.
I like to go for runs of a night, I find my motivation is at its highest around 8pm when I can run in the cool evening air. I stopped this when I came to the city because so many people told me not to go out at night as it is dangerous.
I think I've just gotten to the point where I know I've gained weight, I'm no longer feeling happy about myself and that’s just not like me. I feel like I’m excluding my self from certain social situation's because of my weight. I am generally an outgoing person, and I just don’t feel beautiful anymore its really horrible.
I'm interested in fashion and I love the look of artistic clothing but for me to pull them off I cant have this chucky bod. By this Im not looking to be model thing by any means, I just want to have a slender body. Underneath my pudge I have a fairly athletic physic and I really want to bring that out.
So I've decided to do something about this. For the last couple of weeks I've been on this pretty intense diet. I like to eat a bowl of porridge in the morning, then for the rest of the day only fruit and vege. Then one day a week I have a day off and cook a lavish meal. I've gone with this type of diet because I find I lose motivation really quick if I dont see results. So the only fly in the ointment here is that on my days off I tend to go for the quick and easy junk food route, which is not what I want. I love the taste of a meal that I've spent hours cooking, I just tend to go straight to the fastest option. Then from there crash.
What I'm hoping everyone can help me with is to keep my motivation up. If I'm feeling particularly weak, I tend to reason with my self and tell my self it may be somehow beneficial to binge. I want to showcase my progress, so I’m less likely to come off the wagon.
Starting weight: 72kg
Height: 171cm
Thanks for listening yall
