Long time lurker, fresh subscriber, first time poster.
376 lbs. Male. 6 feet 3 inches.
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I am a combat veteran that spent my entire military career being in ridiculous shape. 8 mile runs, calisthenics, weights and other physical activities were common, every day routine since I was considered "special forces". No, I was not a SEAL. I ended my career on a bad note and didn't reenlist. I think that was the beginning of this downward spiral. I was super depressed and bitter about how my Naval career ended. I went from physical activity every day to being literally sedentary the day after my discharge was finalized. I sought solace in food, mainly pizza and fast food. I sat in front of a computer for 10 to 12 hours a day playing video games. I never even saw it coming. I went from 250 lbs of solid muscle with little body fat to 376 lbs of goo and weakness. I've lost muscle and cardiovascular health and exchanged it for musculoskeletal problems, gout, random pains and abysmal self esteem. Yeah, I was a bit of a prick when I was in shape. Yeah, I judged "fat bodies" when I was healthy. Now the shoe is on the other foot and it is bitter, bitter irony. I've gained an entire person. The worst part of it is I know how to lose it, or at least I think I do, and I cant muster the courage to do it. Until now. I've lurked and read the testimonies on this sub and seen wonderful transformations and lifestyle changes. I know I can do this. I'll be better for this. Not just physically, because now I know what it feels like to have a "hard body" judge me for being overweight. To all those courageous people on this sub, thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Today is the day.
