Hello all! I of course am just another overweight loser trying to become a winner, but I wanted to post about it on Reddit! In all seriousness, I have been morbidly obese all my life, I now top the scales at 560lbs. I am 5'11" with a broad shouldered body frame, so I'm ready to lose this weight and look good for myself and others.
Why now? Well, I've always wanted to lose weight of course, no one really likes to be overweight, especially not morbidly overweight. The associated health problems that I have (Asthma, Spinal Stenosis) coupled with ones that come with being at my weight (Hypertension, Edema, and Pre-Diabetes) have finally given me the courage to stand up to the challenge I face.
How Will I Do It? The first steps are always the hardest, but I'm definitely going to focus on diet first and consistency. I will be eating at least 1500 calories a day, a diet filled with fiber and water. I will do very minimal exercise, as it hurts to walk too far and it could cause more damage than good. I have already bought my food for the week, and since I am in poverty, I have budgeted wisely.
My Inspirations? I owe it to myself and my Creator to not live this life like this, I don't wanna die young... I am in my early 20's. I want to know what life is like outside of this mass of body fat, to be able to walk without my legs burning and aching and my back in pain. I have a beautiful family, although not perfect, but I wanna stick around for them. I want to be able to look into the mirror and not hate myself and say "Dang, you look good." Finally, I have a girl that has been with me through thick and thin... I owe it to her to give her the best me possible. I will be posting updates every two months, and I wanna stay accountable. Thanks for being such an amazing community!
