I'm a 25 y.o. male and currently weigh about 350 pounds. I've been obese my entire life, and floated around 250-300 pounds all through high school and college. I've had a countless number of "day ones" for various weight loss journeys, but this time I feel like it's different.
I've installed and deleted MyFitnessPal probably 10 times, tracked everything I ate to nothing at all, worked out daily to never leaving my office chair and anything between, but this time I feel like it's different.
COVID and the impacts it can have on obese people terrifies me, and that has been a big inspiration. But, stepping on the scale after a long winter of lockdown and overeating and seeing 350, a weight I swore I'd never hit, kicked me into gear immediately. A long winter of lockdown and overeating got me there, including a new job that came with a pay-raise; which is great, but caused me to order out more. But, this time it's different.
On Saturday I bought a Ring Fit Adventure game for my Switch, and I've done it every day since. I'm back to tracking my foods, and staying under my caloric limit every day. I know I'm not going to work out and stay under my limit every day for the rest of my life, but dammit I want to try. I'm tired of being ashamed of my body and fearing for my long-term health.
I've lurked here for a couple years, always getting inspired by other people's stories of massive weight loss but never enough to do something about it. But, this time it's different. I'll always be a big dude, I'm just kind of built that way. Starting now though, I can be a big healthy dude.
This time it's different.
