I don’t want to get into specifics, but I am a younger adult male and I am obese, with other problems as well that may or may not contribute to it.
I live a very sedentary lifestyle. By very sedentary, I mean no exercise other than doing basic essential things. I don’t willingly leave my home unless I have plans to do something with friends (rare), or need to pick something up somewhere, etc.
My diet is really bad. I let myself eat and drink whatever I feel like. This includes second helpings of supper, portions of any meal that are quite large, and soft drinks in large quantities.
I’m finally starting to feel my lifestyle catch up to me. It’s harder for me to get up from seated positions. Putting on my socks is kind of hard. My movement is slow. Seatbelts are sometimes an issue. About 2 months ago, I had a back issue that caused me to completely lock up and could barely move. It subsided fairly quickly, but I still feel a small tightness that could be due to that issue.
The main reason I haven’t tried to change my lifestyle yet is because of the mindset I am in. Whenever I think about how my life is going and what I’m doing with my time on the planet, I can’t handle it and I get very emotional. It comforts me to keep living my lifestyle the way I have and not think about the other things that are ruining my life. Staying home helps me do it. Eating makes me feel better. I’ve finally recognized these things, which is good, but it hasn’t been enough to make me get off my ass and take control of my health.
This is my question: am I able to change my life completely? Undertaking this task would eventually result in me losing 100+ pounds if done successfully. Is this enough to reverse the damage I have done to myself by living the life I have been? Or have I just fucked it up completely to the point of no return?
