TLDR: I’ve lost all self control and eat almost all my meals takeout from restaurants. I’ve gained 110lbs bored eating takeout at work and home. I’m ready to change and be healthy again. Would love a group or person to keep up motivational and check in with, let me know if your interested!
I’m 24f, 5’6” and I weighed in 296lbs this morning. I’ve always been quite chubby since I was about 12 but it’s never been this bad. In college I maintained around 180lbs, by no means healthy but certainly much more than I am now.
After graduating college I got a typical 9-5 job where I sit at a desk all day. I’m constantly bored and fill my time with eating. I eat out for almost all of my meals and I will take the free time at work to get snacks or eat. I gained 65lbs in a year and an additional 30lbs in the 18 months since then.
My body is covered in stretch marks, I’m exhausted all the time, I get winded from walking and talking at the same time, my skin has gone to crap, clothes never fit me.... the list goes on and on really.I’m not happy with the way I look and I feel like I have treated my body like a dumpster, most of all I’m so sad that lots of the damage I have done to my body is irreversible.
I don’t think I’m a “typical” 300lb person. I don’t eat an entire carton of ice cream every night or drink 3000 calories of soda everyday. I gained every single one of those pounds from eating out. The only think I drink is water. When I cook I only cook vegan food with the occasional egg. I don’t cook with meat or dairy. I love fruit and vegetables. My only issue is I just don’t cook.
I have 1 year and 7 months until I get kicked off my parents insurance. I’m fed up with this lifestyle, I’m tired of destroying my body, and I’m ready to gain my self control back. I don’t want my heath to get any worse than it is now, especially when I loose my good health insurance.
This year I am going to work my hardest to lose the weight, change my mindset and become heathy again. I suspect my boredom with work is actually undiagnosed ADHD. I’m going to spend the time and money on improving myself and creating something better for my future rather than filling my boredom with food. I’m sure my body and my wallet are ready for this “diet”.
My first goal is to not pay for restaurant food for the entire month on January (with a few family bday exceptions). While I normally eat out about 60 meals a month I’m hoping to keep it around 5 this month. I’m also going to begin going to the gym and doing cardio and mild weight training.
I’m serious about it this time, I really am done, but at the same time I am scared. Loosing 100+ pounds is no easy task especially for me who struggles with self control. I plan on tracking loads of health data through my journey but I would love someone to keep me in check and motivated! Let me know if anyone is interested in being a support person, I would love to help others with their journey to health too!
Hopefully at the end of Jan I have some good news to report back, thanks for reading my rant if you made it this far!
