TL;DR 14yo boy has some bad luck and now needs some help finding exercises that will help him lose weight with bad ankles.
The title is exactly as it says. My last weigh in was at 386 and I am sick and tired of being fat. There are a couple of reasons that I am fat, and I wont get in to all of them but at the same time I am not trying to make excuses. There are just a lot of things that have gone on in my life that have led (or helped lead me) to this point. My parents always fought leading me to take on food as a crutch to make me feel better which was the first mistake I made. And after we were forced to move 3 times in one year (due to them being unable to keep a stable job) I got bullied lots that also made me use food as a source of comfort.
At the ripe old age of 12, at around 200-250lbs I started to notice that my feet were starting to hurt but I ignored it for the time being (big mistake). Me and my bum of a father fought (like punching, Door breaking etc.) and this lead to me only getting more depressed than I already was leading me to eat more ( you can see where this is going).
I am now 14 and have had 2 foot re-correction surgeries to fix my morally damaged feet. This lead to an impeccable increase in weight and more depression that has lead me to not eat more but instead I decided to look in the mirror and realize that I can only change for myself.
As of right now, I am eating healthy (gave up soda other than one a month and fully gave up all types of junk food like chips) and at a diet of 2000 to 2500 calories. There are 2 problems that I still have, depression and motivation/low workout possibility. The depression is something I've got to handle myself, you just sort of realize what you need to do with others or by yourself (and the depression is also fueled by my weight/low self esteem). The biggest problem that I have is my feet/ankles. While my feet feel wonders since my surgery, my ankles are not too good as I've lost lots of motion not allowing me to do a good squat or even to get down to do a push up or lunge. This in turn makes walking kind of hard too, but while it is difficult (unlike the previous mentioned impossible ones) it is still very doable.
At this point I don't know who to ask as all of my family is big, and everyone other than grandparents and siblings have given up on me. I'm going to close this out with saying that I do have goals and aspirations in life, ones that require me to lose weight, and even though my family doesn't believe me, I still believe in me at least enough to save up money to buy a membership to la fitness. Thanks for listening to me ramble, and I hope you have a good day.
Edit: I'll be checking post every 30 mins and responding as such.
Edit2: I don't live with my close family (mother lives about 30 mins from house and father is in jail and my grandparents have decided to help me achieve my goals quite a lot so ill change the post quite a bit.
