Hi y'all, I've been having self esteem issues about my weight for as long as I can recall. Back in high school I channeled that into playing football and throwing shot, but those days are long gone and I have a lot of weight on my shoulders (literally).
I'm a 23 year old dude, 6'3" and roughly 400 pounds. I've tried to motivate myself for a long time to start losing weight but every single time I look at the big picture of how much I have to lose and get disheartened and eventually stop trying.
I live a very sedentary lifestyle now since I'm in uni (and with this whole corona thing going on) and spend most of my time sitting behind a desk. My eating habits are quite poor and I've been an extremely picky eater since a child. My diet consists mainly of excessive amounts of protein via red meat and chicken, junk food, and the rare piece of fruit.
My goal is to lose around 200 pounds. Ideally I'd like to build muscle mass instead of letting my muscles slowly diminish via heavy cardio, but with gyms closed now that option is looking more like a pipe dream than anything else. I figured that quarantine is as good a time as any to finally get started into a healthier lifestyle but how can I remain motivated? What things can I do to start the process?
