January first I hit 300lbs for the first time, I started to ignore it, my back hurts more, sleep quality has been crap. I googled BMR, and BMI - no surprise obese. I'm 5'11 and I have very wide shoulders so I try to convince myself it's not too bad, but it is, step out of the shower a few weeks ago, accidentally look at myself in the mirror. I fucking hate myself, those are the words that come from me without speaking. BMR says I can eat 2800 calories and lose weight... so how much am I eating? Turns out around 3700-4400 calories a day is my normal day... how did it get to be like this? I stopped eating breakfast, because all I eat is trash, stopped eating my 9pm meal, Lunch is 7-900 calories, surprisingly a lot fits in that category, meal at least 50% vegetable. Dinner about 700-1000 calories, snacks are carrot sticks, or air pop popcorn. 2 weeks in added breakfast back, yogurt, with a bit of granola. Less than 300 calories, dropped lunch and dinner by 100 calories to comp. Daily intake between 1500 and 2000 calories.
Today is a 1500 calorie day. It's been a month, I'm at 270 ( I tell my friends 260 because I am embarrassed of the real number) I am walking, at least 2 miles, 4 times a week, I have a physically demanding job in a machine shop too so I am always active at work. I'm so hungry tonight, some nights are easy, tonight is not. I really don't have anyone to talk to about this, and I just wanted to tell my story and vent a bit. If you read all of this, thanks. I'm doing fine mentally, just tonight's a rough spot. Down 30lbs in 30 days I'm worries it's too much too fast, but idk... it's nice to see the changes in my face.
