Hey y'all love reading all the stories on here, just wanted to share my own and get some advice/motivation/whatever.
I'm a newly(ish) fat person who is at my wit's end. I am 28 years old, female, 5'9, and tip the scales at 310lbs. Up until about 6 years ago, I had always weighed about 170lbs. 160lbs at my lowest ever and 180lbs during holidays and winter and stuff. I always worked out and did insanity style workouts 2 times a day and followed Sarah Solomon's IF protocol.
I became obese because I joined a fitness MLM, started training to be in a fitness competition, and then broke my leg. I was in a boot for 6 months, bedridden and totally depressed. I had been trying to move from 170 to 160 and no matter how much i worked out and how little I ate, the scale would not buddge, then I had my injury and all hell broke loose.
Up unitl this point, my lifestyle consisted of barely eating because I was so busy all the time so food was just something I shoved in my mouth at some point during the day to keep me from passing out.
Once I had my injury, I started binge eating like crazy! A typical day was like this: I'm talking full breakfast at Squat and gobble, then fro yo, then Starbucks, croissants and then eating a pack of bulk cookies from Wholefoods and then a pint or 2 of ice cream. This went on for about a year and then I got even more depressed because at that point I finally had to buy new clothes and then I thought F it I'm already fat as hell. I'd probably really only gained 50lbs at that point.
Anyway, It got to the point where I was struggling to even walk the distance from my car to the store. I'd be so winded and get hot. I managed to lose some weight and started exercising but at that point, I had gained over 100lbs.
Then I started having blurry vision and having to pee every 10 minutes and my doctor diagnosed me as diabetic. Again, I took it really seriously and cut out carbs and started exercising. I did not want to have to take medication. Now it's been 2 years and while I'm doing much better, I still cannot get my binge eating under control. I now Intermittent fast and eat about 2 normal and even healthy meals a day, but when nightfalls, I still devour sweets. I'm down to a pint of ice cream 3 days a week so while it's an improvement I still need to lose a lot of weight and have considered weight loss surgery because I'm so scared if I don't stop this I will have serious health complications.
Tl;Dr: I was skinny, developed a binge eating disorder, got fat and became diabetic, and am now desperate to lose weight and possibly considering weight loss surgery but want to try again to lose weight without.
