So here I am, just about 22 years old, 6 foot flat and 271 pounds. I feel gross when I look in the mirror, and when I can grab handfuls of me that weren't there three months ago.
I think that the last times I really tried, I was getting too zealous and burning out fast, and just not caring after that, so I'm trying something new. I've started to cut what I eat in a day in half (thinking about CICO), reminding myself to stay moving (boredom and emotional eater here) and I've already lost 4 lbs in a week and still feel like I'm not losing out on anything.
It's like when I dropped facebook, I figured out it was making me unhappy, so I cut down on it more and more until I cut it out completely, and that's a lot more doable for me than going cold turkey.
It doesn't help that my job is sedentary and on a standard day I'll spend 12-16 hours driving if it's what I consider a day job, but that's why I'm cutting everything in half. I can still stop and pick up a burger for lunch/dinner, but I won't do that again that day. I guess it is kinda self parenting, as my mother was out supporting the family and my father didn't give enough of a shit to talk to me outside of yelling about whatever.
I don't know what to do outside of this, and I don't want to be obese this time next year. To be perfectly honest it's a big mental and emotional burden and I could really do without it riding me around, I mean I used to be the fastest runner for the mile during PE class, and the fastest sprinter, and I want to get back to that. That being said I think that the extra weight I'm lugging around really contributes to the loss of motivation. I have a healthy weight of 170-180 lbs. I have 100 lbs to go.
Just wanted to share my thoughts, and if anyone has had a similar experience, I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice.
