I’m 24 and still can’t get fit. I’ve been trying since I was 12 and I feel completely helpless

Hello Everyone, I am really sorry if this does not exactly fit in with the theme of the subreddit.

I am M(24), and I have been trying to lose weight for twelve years now. Since I was a kid. It feels like nothing has changed.

I’m nowhere close to the person I thought I would become by now. It’s like I’ve spent half my life thinking about this one thing and I still don’t know how to get it right.

What makes it worse is that I’m not clueless. I know the logic. I know the science. Calories, deficits, routines, slow habits, all of it. I’ve consumed more information about weight loss than most people ever will. I have also read every motivational quote, every discipline trick, every “no zero days” idea out there. I’ve tried to hype myself up so many times that I’m just numb to it now.

But none of it sticks. I start well for a few days and then something switches off in my brain. I don’t binge like crazy, but I overeat just enough or stop working out just enough to undo everything. And I don’t even fully understand why I’m doing it. I don’t know if it’s emotion, stress, boredom, or some part of me that just refuses to change.

The confusing part is that I’m not like this in other areas. I can work hard. I can learn quickly. I can plan and execute. But when it comes to my body, I feel powerless. I feel like I’m fighting myself and losing every single time.

I keep thinking I should have solved this by 25 (my prefrontal cortex would be fully developed by then), even though I know that idea is kind of stupid. Still, it lingers there. And I’m tired. I’m tired of restarting. I’m tired of feeling like I’m running in circles. I’m tired of feeling like I’m failing at something that should be simple.

So I’m asking people who finally figured this out after years of trying. What actually changed for you? How did you break the cycle when nothing ever worked before?

Please help me out, I feel heartbroken. I am honestly stuck and I don’t know what to do anymore.
