I am pretty down and out.
For the first time in my life, I have been experiencing fat prejudice. Maybe I was too naive in the past, but it seems ridiculous to know that I am experiencing this now as a 23 year old. In public, the internet, social situations, with certain “friends” and just in general. It’s really starting to take a toll on me.
It’s true that I am at my highest weight ever. And though I’m okay with my life, I know things could be better. But I can’t base my life on it’s worthiness by how much I weigh. I’ve been having a hard time coming to terms with this lately.
I need to move on with it, I need to start doing things for myself and realize that I’m risking a lot by being this unhealthy.
I guess I’m looking for that realization that many people have, the final thought that really gets them focused and motivated. What did that for you? Your main source for motivation? What keeps you motivated?
