I was at 365 and had given up losing weight. Then I fell in love. I decided that I wanted to become a man that she could love in return. So I went back to the research trying to find a way to lose weight despite having an endless appetite. After much research and lots of terrible advice I finally found keto. It worked. I started losing weight. Then it stopped. So I went back to the drawing board and found other things that worked. Over the next 3 years I managed to lose 80 pounds. Over that same time period I hardly ever saw her. For reasons out of my control I only saw her every few months. The separation eventually caused my feelings to fade. I yo-yoed the same 10 pounds up and down for a year. I started asking myself why I couldn't keep up my progress anymore. It was because I had lost my motivation.
My hunger is just so much stronger than my willpower.
So I decided I needed a new motivation. Unfortunately I can't just fall in love with someone else. It doesn't work that way. So I had an idea. I had a female friend who I was very physically attracted to. I had tried to hook up with her but failed. She only liked me as a friend. I told her about my weight loss journey and how I had reached a plateau I was having trouble overcoming. I asked her if she would hook up with me if I got down to my Army weight of 220. She said no. I showed her a few pictures of what I looked like in the Army. She still said no. So I said, "Oh well. It was worth a try."
She called me the next day and said she would do it.
It's been 3 weeks and I'm down 15 pounds. I'm losing weight again. I don't know if I will be able to keep it up all the way until my goal, but I'm happy that I'm making progress.
