I am extremely overweight. I currently weight 400 lbs and have been this size for ~4 years.
I am not sure how to do this post and just need to write out my thoughts Not sure if this breaks any formatting rules but here, we go.
I have always been big. Fat as a kid, Fat as a high schooler. Everyone one in my family was fat.
As High schooler I weighed ~365lbs bug I guess carried it well I was in Football and was fairly athletic given my size. I Joined wrestling to lose weight Junior year and had probably the toughest and best time losing weight. I got down too 285 towards the end of my senior season. After that was done, I kept the weight off for a while until college started.
In my first two years of college, I putt all that weight back on. in my 3rd year after my father was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and he started Keto and he lost a lot of weight. I was so inspired by that I thought I would give keto a try and it went well for several months. I worked at a Gas station that severed food, the owner let me make whatever I wanted as long as I paid "a fair" price for it. So If I didn't feel like cooking or it was 2:00 AM after a night of drinking I was covered with keto friendly food.
A few months after I started Keto my dad landed in the hospital with kidney Cancer and would be in and out of the hospital for 6 months during which I stopped keto and turned to comfort myself in food. He is now Cancer free. Since then, thought I have ballooned to 400lbs and I have had an extremely hard time starting a diet of any kind.
I am kinda lost, I have recently tried starting keto again and it's not going great mentally. I am not sure if I can sustainably do keto, as I failed to keep with it last time. Just counting calories never seemed to work for me It's almost like I need a gimmick.
I don't know anyone have ideas or thoughts, or even an encouraging word I could use it right now.
