I hope this is the time I succeed

Well, pretty much Day 1…

26M, 5’10”, 220lbs/100kg as of 4 days ago. Goal weight is around 82kg.

I’ve always had problems with binge eating, fast food, takeaways, etc.I was a really picky eater when I was younger too, not much veg and no fruit, would feel sick at the thought of eating them.

I’ve grown out of the pickiness over the last few years, I’m now a really good cook and love trying new food. But over the last 6/7 years I’ve consistantly been gaining weight. I’ll go through a phase of hitting the gym, counting cals, lose a bit, then fall out of it and go up another few kg. Particularly if i’ve had a night out with friends and am hungover the next day. Plus I work a desk job plus another 1-1.5hrs commuting in the car.

I started logging my food on the LoseIt app again 4 days ago, meal preps, lots of water etc and I’m feeling positive and good physically. My problem is getting back to exercising, I used to love the gym but It’s like I have a mental wall stopping me each day. I think my repeated failure has my brain trying to protect me from feeling shitty about it again. I think I’m also fearing missing out on socialising as I want to avoid restaurants, takeouts and alchol as much as possible - it all still feels like a sacrifice rather than a new way of living? Any tips on getting in there and staying in there daily would be really appreciated.
