I’m a 16 year old boy who’s always been overweight/obese. About a year ago though I weighed myself to find I was 273 lbs. Yikes. I knew I had to do something but didn’t know where to start. I had always been trying to diet/excerise, but always felt too daunted by it and eventually gave up. But what really did it for me wasn’t a fad diet or crazy work outs, but really just a change to my relationship with food.
So, previously, when I was bored I’d eat/snack. I decided that when I was bored now I was going to walk instead. Before, when I had free time, I’d read. Now when I have free time, I listen to an audiobook and walk.
It’s such a little thing but I basically put myself in a position where I didn’t have the time to eat crazy amounts of food because I’m walking all the time. In the past 8 months or so I’ve steadily and comfortably lost around 75 pounds. I’m out of the 200s since the first time before middle school, I went from a BMI that was well into type II obesity to just overweight (and only around 20 more lbs to go until I’m in a healthy BMI) I feel really good because walking clears my head really well and I can wear my twin brothers clothes now lol.
I just feel really happy.
