Sighhh
I been working out on and off for a couple of months and jus recently started going daily. The pic on the left is from May and the pic of the right is from yesterday. I dont even think I see a difference😭 I know I need to stay consistent thats my biggest issue. Its like I would start one or two days and never finish. Now I make sure to at least get a workout in 3-4 times a week(even though I work two jobs) I also started to incorporate more strength training exercises, I eat less, I dont snack at all anymore (my biggest problem), and i make sure to drink a pre workout even on the days I dont workout. My biggest problem is my stomach cuz I hate it, hell really all over lol. I do have an issue with low self esteem and emotional eating so I think that also has slowed me down alot with my weight loss journey. Some days I get up, look in the mirror and I feel beautiful and other days I just feel so ugly about myself that I literally get a headache from thinking about too much😔#depression #lowselfessteem #workingout
The journey to achieving fitness goals can often feel daunting, especially when battling issues like low self-esteem and emotional eating. Many individuals embarking on a weight loss journey share similar experiences, where fluctuations in motivation can lead to inconsistencies in their workout routines. The importance of consistency can't be overstated; it's the cornerstone of any successful fitness plan. Incorporating strength training exercises into your routine can provide several benefits, such as increased muscle mass, a boosted metabolism, and enhanced overall strength. It's also crucial to recognize emotional triggers that lead to unhealthy eating habits, as these can significantly impact your progress. Finding alternative coping mechanisms, such as journaling, meditation, or seeking social support, can be empowering steps. Additionally, drinking pre-workout supplements, even on rest days, can help maintain energy levels and motivation. Creating a structured workout schedule, setting achievable goals, and celebrating small victories can also foster a more positive mindset. Embracing the ups and downs during your journey is essential; self-compassion and understanding are pivotal in fostering long-term change and success in bettering both body and mind.
