Pants I haven& #39;t been able to wear in over 2 years (bc I was too big) are now baggy on me!

I managed to have fun, love my body, & stay happy during this journey. I& #39;d like to state that I was perfectly-
fine the way that I was. However, I couldn& #39;t do some of the things I wanted bc I wasn& #39;t in shape. Bc of this, I started working out for 10 min everyday & it really made a difference. Tbh, I couldn& #39;t even tell that I had lost weigh til I tried on my old clothes.-
I wasn& #39;t measuring/weighing myself everyday or any of that. I just knew I wanted to become healthier so I started exercising. Honestly, I believe this is why I was able to stay happy and continue towards my goal. I could tell my muscles were becoming more defined but my mind-
didn& #39;t really register the change. In the past, I made such a big deal out of how much I weighed, how big I was, etc. & I was never happy. Iwas just working out bc I hated myself & my body.-
I constantly felt like I had to work harder in order to make myself change. I would get stressed from the pressure & lose all motivation for life.
When I started working out during quarantine, I only did it bc I wanted to stay healthy & energetic during the semester.-

Throughout this whole process, I never measured or weighed myself, I just exercised bc it felt good. I could tell that I was more motivated when I worked out so I made it a part of my daily routine. I know this is really long & I& #39;m sure no one cares, but I just want to let you-
know that it& #39;s okay to feel lost or tired from working out. It& #39;s okay to want to give up. All that matters is how you deal with those feelings. Don& #39;t let your fears and insecurities keep you from being your best self. What is you best self? Only you know. What makes you happy?-
What makes you feel energetic & motivated? For me, it& #39;s being surrounded by nature, exercising, listening to music, taking photographs, and chilling with the people I love most. Only you know what makes you so happy that you can& #39;t wait to start your day.-
TW//depression & suicide//
I have struggled with depression and anxiety for most of my life. I had suicidal tendencies throughout my teens & always felt that the world would be better without me in it. I put so much pressure on myself to be perfect for others…-

but NO ONE IS PERFECT! So don& #39;t try to make yourself perfect, just be you. And yeah, it& #39;s going to be really hard at first. I hated myself for years & I& #39;m just now starting to realize that I don& #39;t have to love myself immediately, I only have to work towards it one day at a time.-
I don& #39;t think I& #39;ll ever be able to love every part of myself. But I like myself a lot more than I used to and that& #39;s enough. I know my worth and trust that I am capable of anything I set my mind on. I know that I can make it through another day, even if I won& #39;t always be happy.-
All of these things may seem like a small matter to most but to me, these little things are the most important. While they may be small, they make me happy. These small things make me want to work hard in order to see my end goal achieved.-
The most important thing is that I don& #39;t focus on the end goal; I focus on the small things that will eventually lead me to my goal. Try to enjoy the experiences that lead you to your goal instead disregarding your accomplishments bc they aren& #39;t your end goal.-
Society tells us that we have to act a certain way, look a certain way, & live a certain way in order for us to be happy in life. IT& #39;S ALL LIES! Be who you want to be, follow your passion, do what makes you happy! If people disagree with your choices, who cares?-
You& #39;ll be happy and that& #39;s all that will ever matter!
I want everyone to know that you aren& #39;t alone. If you ever need someone to talk with, I will gladly be there for you.

This thread is a lot longer than planned… but I just had to share this. I know how much it would& #39;ve helped me in the past if I had known that I wasn& #39;t the only one struggling. Again, if you need to talk with someone, even if it& #39;s just for small talk, I& #39;m always here. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Purple heart" aria-label="Emoji: Purple heart">
