Hey y’all, am new here…
I am 20 years old and I weigh 330 pounds. I have been gaining since 12 years ago, and I have been trying to lose since 8 years ago. I need help because I think I know the issue and I don’t know what to do about it.
Some history:
I came to the US in 06 and I was small, wasn’t big at all, but in the first 5 years I had an issue where I was freshly introduced to the fast food of the United States, so I ate a lot and the wrong things. I gained weight, and it was fast. I was never round or morbidly obese, just fat you know?
My first attempts to cut were with general activity. I used to be quite active in my elementary years, I’d be outside and playing almost all the time. I was also in things like TaeKwanDo.The problem was that I was still eating a crap ton, and it got to a point where I over did it. It became addiction to eat all these good tasting things that I didn’t have before. I got lazy around this time and was glued to couches often if I was not outside. I was an average 200 pounds in this time.
Skip to my middle school years, I was large and my doctor said I was obese. My weight in these years was in the era of the mid to high 200s, for much of it it was stuck between 230 and 250 constantly fluctuating. I was still very physically capable of many things like sit-ups, push ups, and other exercises and no disease as of yet. I had gym classes but my dad would make me go out and do laps around the neighborhood but I hated it and always walked and he got me gym memberships even a time with the trainer but it never took full flight and often things would end in like a month. Diet wise I was not eating as much and some days didn’t eat at all, I had great depressive years and I guess weight was something that was tertiary. I didn’t care to lose and didn’t have drive to eat either so I was in a stagnated state. These were the years I had gained the least weigh.
My high school years started with weight training. I did it once in the fall and found I was pretty strong despite no history of weights. At this time I was in the high 200s and by the end would scale to the low 300. Most of my time in hs my weight was 270 and only went to 315 in the last half. From Hs to now I have had no complications and no diseases. My attempts from these years have only ever been gym, and dieting. Diet wise I would try things like super long fasts, or trying to cut on food. In HS I had the same issues, I would try something but then fail. In the first half of HS i stayed between 270 and 290. The other half I had a job at CFA and it went to 300. I then went to Micro center and didn’t gain any more. I never fully committed to the gym or a diet, and I think the lingering lazy from the first bit caused my mentality go go a way where I was addicted to food and gained a laziness that doesn’t let me progress. Skip to now I have an office job(Since graduation, been 2 years now) and weigh 330.
My biggest successes were 2 and were diet based. In 11th grade I tried a suicidal starve where I didn’t eat for 30 days and was survived by gum, and water. After 15 days I added bone broth to the diet. I went from 290 to 270. Ofc within a few months I hit 300.
The second time was a diet plan called “Ideal Protein” I did 1 year ago(shortly after graduation) for 3 months. Went from 320 to 277. This one failed because I got bored of it and sick of the food and the time it took to cook some of the things. Within a year I am now at 330 again…
I’m looking to beat the habit of quitting mid way and to beat laziness. I wanna do something and stick with it. I understand it’s a mentality but what is the best way to beat it? With what I have shared what is a recommendation for me to lose weight. I don’t mind building muscle again so I’m targeting 200. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
