Where to start! I’m 32 years old male and I weigh 280lb which I think is 20stone. Over the last few years my body has become larger and larger and I just don’t know what to do. I developed type 2 in 2018 and since then have been on medication and injections which are supposed to help. This is not the life I wanted or thought I would have.
I’ve never been skinny, my body frame is large, im 6’3. I’m sure many of you reading this can relate to the feeling of hopelessness that I have. I suffer from anxiety and depression and food is a big trigger I eat my feelings and cravings get the better of me.
I started tracking my calories the other week and was under what I normally have so should have seen a difference in the deficit. I weighed 1 week later and gained .4lb..... devastated. This lead to a cycle of intrusive thoughts and comfort eating.
I decided to order huel to replace breakfast as I found I wasn’t having any and then binge eating later. It’s only been a few days so it’s hard for me to say I feel thinner or whatever.
I need help. My health is deteriorating, I’m at risk of having heart issues as it runs in the family and I don’t want to feel like this anymore. I read so many success stories on here and I wish it was me. I wish I could be the guy that enjoys running but I weigh so much it hurts my joints.
This all seems very doom and gloom. I do have an Apple Watch that I use to record the odd walk I do. I also have a weight bench in my garage that I can utilise, (if I knew what I was doing) I enjoy cooking but my portion sizes are large. I have also heard of fasting however not sure of the benefits and would love to talk to someone who does it.
I’m putting this out there in the hope that someone will reply, have a suggestion, are able to help me build a sustainable diet/ workout plan.
I don’t want to die.
I want to feel good in my clothes, want to take selfie’s, look at myself in the mirror without hating what I see. My stomach is large and even though I’m tall it looks horrible, man boobs, big belly, stretch marks you name it. I even messaged a PT on Instagram and was bombarded with his sales pitch that was very high for what I needed. I don’t want to pay £60-100 just for someone to say eat less. I’m Hoping someone here understands me, there must be someone.
Please help me.
Even if it’s a comment, a share or a private message. I can’t do this any more.
