Yeah title lacks an attention getter and sounds obvious but let me elaborate.
I'm about 215 pounds and 5'10-ish. Don't think I'm bad looking but I definitely need to lose some. I've been trying to make a ton of changes lately. This is a bit embarrassing but im in my early 20s and still a virgin. Again, I don't think im a bad looking guy but my weight, among other things, is doing me no favors. Been fixing my posture and my walk(my weight has effected that I admit), been working on how I talk to people(girls I'm interested in especially) since I've always been socially awkward, been dressing a lot nicer and actually trying to wear good name brands and match, just quality of life stuff. Its all a bit tricky, but none of it compares to actually losing weight itself.
Now look exercise is fine. Little sore and tired but hey that's how it is. I'm doing fine with that. What is killing me here is counting calories and trying to only eat 1900 a day and having three meals and maybe a brief snack. Holy. Fucking. Shit. I get so fucking hungry and idk what to do. When I say hungry I don't mean just a stomach growl, I mean I break out in cold sweats, start shaking, get unbearable headaches and even dizzy. I'll wake up in the middle of the night with my sheets soaked in cold sweats and my stomach legit hurting from the hunger. I admit I broke and ate a good bit of peanut butter when that happened but I've done okay since. Until today.
Today I broke. I just couldn't take it. I won't share what all I ate since it's embarrassing but let me tell y'all it wasn't good. I'll just say this: it was definitely over 3500 calories. I ate so much I threw up a solid bit, and the bad part? That honestly felt infinitely better then the hunger. Now I just feel guilty. I looked in the mirror tonight after this and I want to cry with how fat I look. I thought I looked decent but now I feel like I'm seeing myself for what I look like to others. My face is so chubby and I got a whole beer belly. Idk it could be the situation that's messing with my head but regardless, you get what I mean.
My question is how do you guys who lost weight and had a healthy diet do it? How do you deal with the hunger? Like I said, I can't just tough this out, it's unbearable and has effected my performance at work and socially(which as y'all know is bad since im trying to fix that too). Do I need to start out with a bit more then 1900 calories? Maybe eat a bit more proteins? I really don't know but I need some help with this asap. I've lost a good bit of weight before when I was about 17 but man it's never been this hard. Thanks for any tips and best wishes to all those trying to lose some weight as well.
