is skydiving. I'm 23M, 68 in, and have weighed between 250-275 lbs for the last 4 years. Before that, I'm pretty sure I have been overweight or obese since like the 3rd grade. I have never been happy about it, but it always seemed so hard to do anything about, especially when I lived at home. Then in college, naturally I could start doing better, but the stress of classes and the ability to get mcdonalds whenever I wanted only made it worse. Now that I have begun my career, I no longer have to stay up late and concentrate on homework/papers/projects. And for the first time in my life, I have found something that I really want to do that my weight is preventing me from doing. For those that don't know, you typically have to weigh under 225 lbs as a man to skydive. So I've been doing CICO for about 2.5 weeks, and not being as strict with myself as I have in the past. So what if I go over my goal of 1600 cal by 300 cal 4/7 days this week. It's better than the likely 2000 calories I would have also eaten if I wasn't actively paying attention to it. I think that has been a major factor in why I've failed in the past. I know this is rambling, and you probably don't care, but I'll be damned if I'm going to let my body dictate my life experiences. Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk.
