It all started with a simple craving for a brownie. I had seen it in a bakery window and it looked so good that I just had to have it. I had been trying to eat better but the lure of the chocolate was too strong and I gave in.
Little did I know that one brownie would lead to a spiral of unhealthy choices that would eventually lead to me feeling like a dumpling in my dress.
Kept eating junk food
I started to eat more and more junk food. I convinced myself that it was alright since I was still eating healthy most of the time.
I kept telling myself that if I could just have this one treat, then I would go back to my healthy eating habits the next day. But the next day came and I was still choosing the unhealthy options.
Before I knew it, I was eating junk food almost every day and I was starting to gain weight. I didn’t want to admit it at first, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
My clothes were getting tighter and I was feeling more and more uncomfortable in my own skin.
I decided that I had to do something about it, so I started to go to the gym. I was determined to lose the weight, but no matter how hard I worked out, it seemed like I was just gaining more and more. I was so frustrated and I could feel my self-esteem dropping.
It wasn’t until I had to buy a new dress for a special occasion that I really realized how much weight I had gained.
I was horrified when I tried on the dress and saw how much I had changed. I looked like a dumpling in the dress, and I felt so embarrassed.
I was so ashamed of myself, I couldn’t even look in the mirror. I wanted to cry but I couldn’t, so I just went back home and lay in bed. I had let myself down and I felt like a failure.
Tried losing weight but CMI
I started to try and lose the weight again but it was so hard. I was so discouraged by my lack of progress that I stopped trying altogether and just continued to eat whatever I wanted.
I was stuck in a vicious cycle of unhealthy eating and I was too ashamed to ask for help.
Now, I’m stuck where I am. I’m still overweight and I still look like a dumpling in my dress.
I know that I should be taking better care of myself but I just can’t seem to get motivated.
