Yesterday I took the plunge with CICO, emerging from depression.

Yesterday I finally created a plan for proper weight loss. 3 years ago i was a 220 pound 15 year old, and i have since exploded another exact 100 pounds through immensely poor decisions. I'm 18 now.

I would always buy caloried soda in the half a dozens every week, with tons of chips to gorge myself, coupled with mental disorders i've binged an insane amount of weight extremely quickly. But in the past 5 months I have seen myself at my mental worst, and something has been changing my my mind. I no longer let trash pile up, and every piece of trash I lay lying around goes in a big bag I have, and I never push it off. And switching to diet soda has killed my appetite for drinking calories. I slowly got disgusted by chips and haven't eaten junk food or drank caloried soda in the past 2 weeks.

Something that made me extremely excited about weight loss, was that actual food that I ate always came out to a low calorie total at the end of the day. I've had no difficulty whatsoever eating sub 2000 calories yesterday and today. I'm projected to be at my 2018 weight by april next year. Thinking about going 1500 at some point.

My main motivations are being able to confidently walk around without feeling incredibly anxious about my physical appearance. I took a starting progress photo that I look at every day to motivate me, since i'm disgusted by myself. I used to take long walks when I weighed 30 pounds less, but walking has become incredibly exhausting. I'm so excited to be able to take long walks while listening to podcasts, and the chance to hike up mountains with my cousin(s). I live in a mountainous rural area and some of my best memories are of hiking up misty mountains and seeing beautiful sights.

For me it took a lot of motivation to start and write this post, but it's not gonna be like before where i'll cave in a few weeks. I have genuinely no craving for junk anymore. I don't even drink as much diet soda as I used to. I'm set to start ADHD medication in two months which will be an extremely helpful tool in getting me out of depression and helping this weight loss journey.

If I have any questions, it's what kind of exercises can I do at 320 lbs without killing my joints.
