I am starting my weight loss journey today, I will be writing posts to stay accountable to myself and when the journey has finished to also look back on it.
I am 20 years old, 6ft 3 and weigh 260lbs, I have got too this weight by a lot of emotional eating and binge eating, I can easily eat 7000 + calories in a day and not realise how much I am eating as I tend to feel numb whilst eating, when feeling low I always feel to binge on takeaways and for bit it makes me happy - I have researched this online and its because serotonin is produced when binging - however I always feel worst after.
As my weight has increased I have not met friends and family as I feel really embarrassed with how I look however this has made me gain much more weight as I feel like no-one is judging me - my parents and co workers do comment on my weight however as I am feeling low already it does not seem to motivate me enough - I have tried to loose weight many times and failed however the IIFYM approach does work well for me but I always seem to overeat when I don't eat so called "healthy foods". I know all that is needed is a caloric deficit however I can't seem to have the discipline to stick to it.
I felt my best around 3 years ago now when I was around 80kg - I was lean and good looking, I met friends and family regularly and had the confidence to talk to a lot of girls. now I am the complete opposite I am obese and my face is very chubby, I don't like meeting friends and family as I do not want to feel the embarrassment when they mention how fat I've got, I don't talk to girls and haven't for about 2 years. I do speak to my friends on social media still and am confident when not meeting in person but being obese hurts my confidence a lot .
if anyone reads this I hope you start your journey today as well, I believe my depression and anxiety is linked to how I look and how ashamed I am that I've got this fat - from today I will do everything to improve both physically and mentally, you can also start from today and improve.
