I’ve gained and lost weight all of my life. I grew up a fat kid. I was 260 when I graduated High-school. Soon after graduation I started seeing real progress from diet and exercise. The diet was 1,200 calories a day and the exercise was around and hour at the gym, cardio included. As a 6 foot 1 male I recognize that that was very unhealthy and actually detrimental to my weight loss in the long run. Being that I was literally starving myself I would frequently gorge on the weekends or whenever I felt particularly stressed.
A few years later in 2018 I was able to reach 198lbs. I remember being ecstatic when weighed myself that morning and I read the scale. Being so close to my goal weight of 185 and finally being within the 100’s I felt like I succeeded. The euphoria didn’t last long, however. Within the next 6 months I had ballooned back up to 260lbs. The most depressed, ashamed, disappointed I have ever been in myself. Which only fed into the infinite loop of eating to feel good then eating so much I got fat and felt like shit, then eating more.
This continued for the next 5 years until today. As a staggering 300lbs 26 year old man I’m dedicated to losing this weight and getting my life together and i’m making this post to declare it as the starting point of a life of feeling great! I’m using the “Lose It!” weight loss app to track my food intake (in a healthy manner)and i’m going to figure out a workout to do everyday to maximize my weight-loss. By this time next year I plan to make another post detailing the journey to you all! 🫡
