Struggling with Body Issues and Weight Loss

I have been very insecure of my body lately. I look in the mirror & I just think I look big. My double chin, stomach, & arms are my biggest insecurities. I've tried to lose weight but I always fail. I have thyroid issues & im on birth control which doesnt help. When I was extremely depressed I lost 10 pounds in a week cause I starved myself cause of how nauseous I was. Sometimes I want that back which I know I shouldn't. I just want to feel good & confident in my body.

tracking your progress can be motivating- how far you're running, how much you're lifting, etc., there are also a lot of habit tracker apps out there that gamify it a bit- I use Finch and it's really cute! I would really encourage you to focus on what you can do rather than how much you weigh, though. it's hard, but it's helped me feel a lot better long term, because I know fatphobic beauty standards aren't values I want to hold
