23 and been deathly afraid of swallowing pills my whole life. Luckily, never been in a situation they've been required, except last year when I was getting my wisdom teeth taken out. I practiced swallowing tiny mints and the worked up to cheerios and smarties, thinking I would need to take pain pills after the procedure. It was a big win last year getting over that.

The wisdom tooth pain ended up being minor so didn't take pain pills for that. But this week I was reading on benefits of omega-3s and got some supplements. Open the container to find those MASSIVE grandma pills.

At first I was just gonna chew it, but then I decided to try and swallow it last night. Took 4 tries but I got it down! This morning, I took another and it took two tries!

The exhilaration I feel after facing a fear I've had my whole life, on top of the world right now 🙏

Hey! 23F and been slacking this past year. Lost a good chunk of weight in college, but the past year work stress got me back into old habits. Back at starting weight.

I'd like to build up the daily consistency that I can keep in the long-run and stop waiting for the person I want to become to suddenly possess my body. Been living on bursts of motivation and reactivity, but want to drop the endless scrolling and get to a healthy weight for the first time in my life.

Starting at \~220lb, 5'8 lowest weight before work piled on was 168lb back in Nov of 2024. I was consistently intermittently fasting and cutting out distractions.

Goal for end of year is to be 155lb, and to read more than I scroll. I am envisioning daily report on weight and step count or exercise regimen. Along with screen time or short summary of what I've read today. Totally flexible with this, and let's incorporate whatever your goals are in together!
