A simple fact: If you wait until you are 100% ready, it will never happen.
The really super duper easy way to lose weight: Take an active job, such as hotel work or sacking groceries or stocking grocery shelves. You will walk miles a day just carrying out those duties. I suggest housekeeping, for real. It's effectively super-low-impact crossfit that you get paid for. Get a knockoff fitbit (or perhaps @actifit) and most importantly, give yourself credit for what you already do. Just because it's your job doesn't mean it doesn't count.
I lost 120 lbs working night audit at a hotel, because I was averaging 8 miles per shift just carrying out my duties. Considering that 1 mile = 100 calories (roughly) all I had to do was eat less than 800 calories before and during that shift... It was completely effortless.
Manual labor is teh roxxor, and your corpus will love it.... Even with my back injury, I try and put in a few miles each day on an elliptical, because my beast is so unhappy just sitting on its ass all day. You must treat your corpus as if it's a pet... be kind to it, take it for walks, groom it well and make sure it's clean.
I promise, you'll adore how much it loves you back.
At the moment I am not working. I am a stay at home mother of 3, 2 are in school.
Most of my weight gain was caused by a postpartum depression that lasted 5 years and now that barrier has been broken, yet still fragile.
There are a few things I did not mention in my post that also tries to hold me back, which is the reason that I must feel that respect and love for myself in order to be ready to do what I need to do for myself. Although you are right, we do not need to be 100% ready.
Losing 120lbs is freaking amazing! Losing that weight just from your day to day work is fantastic! I would hug you for your achievements if I could. <3
Having a routine that works for me is what will be the key to making it work. My life at the moment is on halt while my kids come first. So this routine and exercise will be slow at first. I will probably have to change it up here and there too until there is something I am ok with and can stick to. But it will have to be a complete change. I have to change my mindset, my mentality, my habits, everything. That is the hardest part ^_^
Oh my gods! Then you're already doing miles a day. Like I said, a knockoff Fitbit ($30) or the actifit app, and give yourself that credit, which you totally deserve, for what you do anyway. It make a bigger difference in motivating you than you think. 💚

I looked into the actifit and I am really thinking about it. Although I have seen some posts about it, those report cards and I am not getting it lol. But I'm sure once I start it'll come to me :)
