I joined Tumblr because someone told me to check it out, but then saw all the support that comes from the weight loss community
and began my weight loss journey after being inspired by various blogs like vainreflections, maurensparrow, becomewhatyouwant, and jessicablossoming. They showed me that it doesn’t matter where you’re starting from or how far you have left to go because you can work hard and make progress.
They support those who come to them for help, and so I try to do the same, even if they don’t come to me. Generally if I see someone asking for help on my dash I’ll leave them an encouraging message in their ask, usually on anon, or try to give tips on what has helped me with what they are struggling with.
I’m a giving person, I like to help others. I’m the type of person who would do just about anything for my friends and strangers. I have gone out of my way to go to a grocery store to buy food because I saw a homeless man sitting on the side way with a sign asking for help, multiple times. I’ve pulled over in the dark to try and help a helpless looking dog.
I guess I do these things because deep down I hope that when I need help someone will be around to help me.
I’ve lost 22 pounds. And I’m proud of that. But I still have 125-135 pounds left to go and lately I’ve been unmotivated, and I’m not sure what to do. I see just about everyone else doing amazing work with their weight loss and I feel left in the dust.
So tell me what do you do when you’re unmotivated, when you’re struggling. I could use some tips on how to pick myself up when I’m having a hard time knowing what to do. So I’m turning to the weight loss community to maybe help me help give me some support or guidance because I feel lost.
