I am new here, and I just need some advice. I know that everyone is probably here for the same reason I am, but what do you do when trying to gain the outcome you want out of your weight? I am constantly being called fat, especially my dad tells me all the time that I need to lose weight and it just makes me feel worse, especially when I already know that. I am not satisfied with the way I look and need to change it because it is beginning to make me feel depressed.
Don't listen to people who put you down. You should want to lose weight so you can be healthier, not because someone wants you to look different.
I started by writing down everything I eat or downloading an app like runtastic balance or my fitness pal. That will give you a good idea of how much you eat in a day. If you are eating more than 2000 calories a day, cut out 500. Incorporate some walking and resistance training. Then move up to harder activities.
The most important thing is be consistent and accountable!
Thank you so much for your comment and advice. This really helps, and is very encouraging. I truly appreciate it!
And try each day to just make good food choices, and if you can't/mess up, just know that we are all humans and give yourself grace.
I am sorry your dad is being rude. Just know that whatever you look like and whoever you are, there are people who truly love you, no matter what; and God loves you, too!
