For ideal health, I should lose at least 15 pounds. 20 would be better. I have a hard time with balance. I’ll save up my calories all day to reward myself with something incredibly delicious. I hate being deprived of good food and drink. Eating small and nutritious meals through the day sounds super boring. I’ll literally walk 10 miles on an empty stomach so I can make my appetite ravenous and “earn” some Taco Bell. When I was 28 (I’m 36 now) I successfully lost over 30 pounds by counting calories. I was starving- had hunger pains at night and was obsessed the caloric content of everything. I can’t do that again. I feel mostly healthy right now despite being overweight- I can run a 5k in about 28 minutes, I lift weights and do push ups, and I walk outside about 25-30 miles a week. I do feel a lot of shame for not being able to successfully manage my diet though and I’m afraid I’m missing out on a better life that could be achieved if I was at a healthier weight. Also, I drink two beers at night (130 calories each). This is a terrible habit but when I stop drinking I wake up feeling like I didn’t sleep.
I’m a 5 9” male who this morning weighed 191 pounds. I hate myself for that number, for not having the self control to not be overweight, and for how those extra pounds steal the energy I need to be a better person.
