No longer "SUPER" morbidly obese.. and a warning
I wanted to wait another week to be sure, but as of Saturday my BMI is 49.2 (SMO is BMI >50).
My highest BMI was 66.3, I was 210Kg (460lbs).
I'm now 'only' morbidly obese, still need to lose about half my body weight. My next goal is to get below a BMI of 40, which I believe would make me "severely obese", but no longer "morbidly" obese. I should be able to hit that by the end of the year, fingers crossed anyway.
Doesn't seem real sometimes, wish I had done this sooner. They key was learning about TDEE and calories.
I wanted to post this here though as a warning. There was nothing unusual or unique about me, I was overweight most of my life, but I went from being obese > morbidly obese> super morbidly obese within maybe five? years. I didn't ever consider myself to eat or be like the kind of people you see on my 600lb life, yet I was maybe only another year away from that at my highest, at the rate I was going.
What I'm trying to say is that, if this happened to me (becoming SMO), it can happen to you, way, way easier than you realise. You let it slip long enough and eventually you end up like I was; barely able to walk for more than a few minutes without severe backpain, always out of breath, venous insufficiency in your legs, pre diabetic, hypertensive, it all catches up to you. Luckily I've since managed to get off blood pressure drugs and fixed my blood sugar all by losing weight, but my leg will always look like shit now.
I just wanted to give a warning to people who are in a similar position to where I was a decade ago, when I was 'only' obese. Change now. Do it before you do any lasting damage.
