Last night while washing my face I looked in the mirror and realized "Holy shit...I'm just a brain piloting a big fleshy meat suit, and this puppy needs to last me at least five more DECADES." If I needed to drive a car non-stop for 50+ years straight I would maintain that thing like my life depended on it...and I'm treating my body, the thing that literally contains my life, like a Lada in a demolition derby, when I should be treating it like a Lamborghini.
So...what do I do? For reference I'm male, 6'5", currently 260lbs, so my BMI is currently resting at 30.8, not the best. I eat fairly well already (mainly meat, fruit, veggies, and rice) and cook all my own meals (I'm allergic to gluten, dairy, and soy; no fast food or boxed stuff for me). I already calculated that I need to eat about 2,500 calories per day to cut down, so my reasoning is that I must be eating WAY in excess considering I already eat fairly clean.
Obviously I need to hit the gym and figure out what exercise works for obtaining my goals (aiming to reach around 220lbs 10% fody fat as my long term goal). I love riding my bike, but Oregon is kinda wet and snowy at the moment, so that's out of the picture until spring. If any tall guys here could tell me what worked best for you in your weight loss endeavors it would be greatly appreciated!
There's a lot of other quality of life changes I'm determined to make as well; dress better, jerk off less, have a solid sleep schedule, tear myself away from falling down the YouTube hole every night, ect ect. It's going to be difficult, especially all at once, but I can't go on like this for decades. I need to get shit on lock before I turn 30 or escaping this self destructive whirlpool will become an effort in futility.
I hope I'm welcome here and that I'll find some support and advice in this community!
Tl;Dr - Had an existential crisis, realized I need to make my body last 50+ more years.
