I am a long time lurker on this subreddit and want to start off by saying as a pure observer I have always appreciated the kindness and supportive nature of this community.
This is hard to say ‘out loud’ but here I go. I’m 39M 5’ 9” and 240lbs. Pre-Covid I was 200/210 and I don’t know if is age, stress, or habit changes with wfh but my quality of life and general well being are headed in the wrong direction. Sleep is getting worse (quality) - energy levels plummeting - blood pressure is rising. Pretty much all the markers of a healthy individual are pointed in the wrong direction.
I have been wildly lucky my whole life that being fairly active and athletic that I did not have to monitor my eating habits or movement patterns very closely and felt great. This is no longer the case and I’m feeling a bit lost on where to start.
My why is I want to continue to provide for my wife and children while they depend on me but really even more than that I want be here when my children become adults and (if I’m so lucky) I’d like the opportunity to meet my grandchildren someday.
I have a lot of soul searching and self education ahead of me but if anyone has any words of advice or wisdom for someone starting their journey I am all ears.
Thank you in advance.
