I'm 18. I was a football lineman for our high school team and lifted regularly with the team. I was 215 at 6'0, making me big but still muscular/healthy.
Then came quarantine, without accountability or any workout equipment at home I lost all motivation to do anything. I played video games all day for the last 3-4 months, stopped caring about what I ate, and recently weighed myself at 280. I physically feel awful and chubby and weak compared to my old self.
I need to lose the weight, but I have no motivation at all. Even with gyms opening near me, it's still a struggle to get out. When I did, I could barely workout for longer than 30 minutes and I'd be sore for days on end. Does this mean I'm restarting from scratch?
I'm insecure about social interactions and the way I look. Ive lost so much confidence and I don't know what to do.
I want to become thinner and stronger for football season, but that gives me about 2 months to lose the 60lb AND regain my strength back. Is this doable? Will it be any easier to gain muscle I once had before?
What tips do you have to make myself get to the gym instead of play video games? And how do I stop myself from eating when I know I shouldn't?
I could really use the help, I messed up. Bad. Thanks r/loseit
