Ready for a Major Lifestyle Change
Firstly, i’d like to comment on how thankful I am for finding this subreddit. I have been struggling to find a good online community of likeminded people for a long time and the people here are genuine, kind, and truly care about motivating others as well as themselves.
My name is Matthew and I have been morbidly obese for as long as i can remember. I am in my late teens and am 5’10 and weigh in at a whopping 310lbs. I need help. No matter what I try i just cannot stop eating. Throughout the day I consume enough calories from sugar and fat filled foods to fuel Michael Phelps. I often wake up and eat cookies and drink a Coke for my breakfast. I know it’s bad for me but I can’t stay away.
I had to give up my dream of being a professional hockey player at a young age because of my weight and have been devastated ever since. I know it wasn’t realistic but it was even harder because I was still eating frosting out of a can instead of practicing. When given the choice between my hockey stick and a Spicy Chicken Deluxe with extra sauce, it was a no brainer. I was bullied by my brother and friends telling me I would crack the ice as soon as I stepped on it. Obviously I didn’t have many friends in school and the bad haircuts didn’t help, but I almost feel like you guys are my friends.
I am ready to make the change and eliminate the doritos and arnold palmer from my diet. I truly appreciate hearing from those of you who have had similar hardships. Any advice and motivation helps. Day one of my new life starts today!
