cw tw bodyshaming
i struggle so much with my body. so, so much. i hate my body. i get SO fat very easily. i get bodyshamed almost everyday. i tried to work out at home before and i was doing fine for a bit (although it was very very hard and tiring for me) and then my brother (who is a gym rat) started criticizing me and lowering my confidence. he starts exercise shaming me and whatnots. also my mother who was telling me for the first few weeks that nothing's changing on my body. so I stopped working out. after a while, a school project wanted me to exercise and so I did (with different routine this time), and no matter what I do I don't get weight loss. i think I was doing it right. i still would get very shamed everytime my brother would pass by and tell me it doesn't work. i don't have any money to go to gym, as much as I don't have any confidence at all so I resort to home workout. but then I would still get bodyshamed at home, whether or not I work out. i wish I don't get hungry at all so I don't eat. but I'm always hungry. i try to eat less and less everyday. before I used to eat in a whole plate. but now I only eat on mini or tiny bowls and swallow my hunger. i wish I don't get fat easily and I wish exercise was easy for me. but alas, that wont happen.

Exercise and any changes take time ....... and not just a few weeks ..... i was getting heavier and i started walking with a group of ladies in the morning 2-3 miles a day .....
i was exhausted but did not give up i weighed myself in a few short weeks as i felt i must have made progress but nope scale did not move..... I was going to give up so angry ....and it really did not seem to make progress for a long time. ......about 8 weeks in....... i saw that change on a scale and others saying "hey ...did you lose weight"
If you are working out and muscles burn fuel movement is key does not matter if your form of exercise ... dance/ walk/ set exercises .... remember muscles weigh more then fat and as you build or rebuild your muscle tone....... the changes are slow ....A gym does not equal success no matter what people say.......
celebrate your small accomplishments ......... people like your brother will always exist telling you what you are doing is not correct / or the best way....... the reality is even walking ( many walking videos on you tube that shows the host improving) if done consistently your stamina and feeling better about things improves and sooner or later the other signs people value like a scale or clothes feeling loose will happen.
Hunger can be boredom/ anxiety... anger many emotions........ try the drink more water as it is ofen said sometimes what we think is hunger is really thirst.
You can do this .... do not hive up on your self ..when people comment just smile and say something like thanks for expressing YOUR opinion ... and do not let it change your goal/ your plan and your life.
