Being overweight my entire adult life has given me a deep-rooted negative body image, one that has led to severe yo-yo dieting, starving myself (fasting) binging, extreme exercise, extreme bouts of depressive laziness, massive positive and negative mood swings, temperature intolerances, and so many other issues that have really only exacerbated my already existing behavioral issues I have been working on since adolescence.
I hit a peak of 295lbs prior to my divorce at 29, and after splitting up, fell to 235. I've spent the last 6 years slowly working back to my old glory, and now, sitting at 245 with my amazing current wife, I need to get this under control.
It helps that my now wife is a personal trainer and seasoned competitive bodybuilder, but for the last 4 years, I've been waiting for her to "kick me in the ass" and force me to get things under control. That's not who she is, and it's wrong for me to put that on her. This is a change I need to make, and I need to ask for guidance, not parenting.
That all said, I plan to do a simple guided CICO and IF diet, focusing on macros, and working to stay under a daily limit 75% of my TDEE. I am going to seek therapy for behavioral and personal issues, and I hope this path will be the right one back to where I want to be!
This page, r/progresspics, and r/GymMotivation are REALLY helping my motivation, and I hope this goes better than it has!
Wish me luck!
