Accountability Buddy Group
Hey there everyone! I’ve decided to make an “accountability group” for anyone interested! This is for those who need a support system that is willing to push and support and even call out on slacking when necessary!
I’m gonna have a form with info to fill out so that when we are tagging and responding to each other, we all have some understanding about the other person. This is to not only better support them, but to be better at nagging them and doing accountability checks (ex: posting a running selfie and then tagging those you know who also want to do more cardio to see if they have kept up with their desired goals)
If you want to be in the group just reblog with this post! I hope to make a list of those in the group with links to each “about me” for easy reference and so everyone can make some new friends!
I’ll go first 😊
Username: yourfriendwren
I go by: Wren
How far am I into my journey: Starting at 345lbs, I’ve lost 130 and hope to lose roughly 70 more.
How long have I been on this journey: aggressively, one year. Up and down weight loss with no true attempts, about 10 years.
What I usually do for activity: walking and some jogging, when I actually commit.
What I usually eat/what are my go-to foods and meals: the basic meat, veggies, fruits
What I want to avoid eating on my journey: sugar and alcohol
What I want to do or work towards in terms of activities: exercising daily, working out 3-5 times a week
What are my biggest struggles: getting out of bed and starting the activity.
What I most commonly fall “off the wagon” with: for food, emotional eating, or when I’m tired and don’t want to cook. For exercise, I’ve been grabbing the wagon and getting dragged a bit every time it comes by but I’ve yet to get back on since I stopped jogging during the early winter 😬.
Potential physical or mental things that can hold me back or make my journey difficult: physically—I get angina if I push myself too hard, which can trigger asthmatic symptoms. Mental— depression and the cyclical fatigue and lack of motivation that come with them. My husband doesn’t like to upset me and I can be cranky about exercising when I get in a depressive state so he often just lets me do what I want.
Things that make me happy: My husband and son, when we are out together and enjoying our time as a family. Seeing my husband play with our son, and also squishing snuggle piles.
Things that make me feel good about myself: being successful with myself and pushing myself to do things even when I didn’t want to.
Things that upset me: my loose skin, still not being under 200 by now.
Things that make me uncomfortable or feel bad about myself: disappointing myself by not losing but still maintaining or even going up in some weight by using family events as an excuse to slack off with my intake even though I’ve already been slacking with exercising
What are my short term goals: to build habits of eating well and exercising frequently
What are my long term goals: to reach my goal weight, get skin removal surgery and depending on the situation either have another baby or get my tubes tied 😆 and then to get a boob lift (implants I don’t think I can do but it would be nice to have them perky again)
What do I draw inspiration from: other people’s transformation pictures, movies with very clean and/or aesthetically appealing homes, also ones showing healthy or fit lifestyles.
What demotivates me: failures in any aspect of life. We didn’t get an apartment we applied to and I’ve been an absolute mess for weeks.
What I need from this community to help me with achieving my goals: call me out. I’ve been on a downhill since it started to get cold during the autumn-winter season. I have impulse dominant ADHD, insomnia and depression. Diet and exercise is crucial to managing it. If I exercise enough I burn off excess ADHD energy, I sleep better and feel better. When I eat right I have clearer skin and I don’t get any crashes or up-and-down moods from sugary foods, alcohol or stuff that is calorie dense. I know all this but I just need others to know my faults so they can CALL ME OUT when I slack off! 😆
Here is the blank form for anyone that wants to participate!
