27M / 235ish / 6’2
I’ve gained closed to 30lbs since I separated the military about 3 years ago. Right after I left the military my alcoholism peaked. I’ve been sober almost 3 years but I’ve gained close to 30lbs. I have tried keto but couldn’t sustain it and felt oily. I try to stay active but I am a student and I feel like a hibernating bear. I go weeks on a good caloric deficit and then something comes up with family or friends and I just crumble. I am on an exercise program but I have to take a break from running because of a God-awful shin splint (most likely caused by my weight).
My fiancé has told me my upper body looks more toned but I have this girdle of fat around my waist and huge thighs. I feel humiliated knowing I used to be this fit person. People seem surprised to find how fat I am under my shirt, I guess I hide it well?
Anyways. I wanna keep chugging but I guess I was just trying to find a place of support.
