I'm 22, 6' 310 lbs. I'm a fatty. Sexy love handles and all. More than likely I'm in the wrong place for this help. I've tried and tried again to get in shape. Failed for one reason or another, I can lay some blame on things that weren't under my control, but excuses are still excuses. My main issue is definitely a lack of drive/confidence, and that could be applied to a hundred other aspects of my life. I'm always physically tired, high anxiety and depression, and the likes. So my questions are how do I get started losing so I can start gaining? Is there anything I could take or inject to give me a mood boost and/or help burn fat off? I want to be able to look at my body in the mirror and not think " gross." So if I am in the wrong place will you show me where to go?
Thanks for any help. Criticism is also welcome.
Welcome to AR, bro. Your story is one that I know all too well. When I was 23 I was 350 pounds of pure fat, I was disgusting. I would eat everything I could get my hands on, with no regard to my health. I also drank like a fish, at minimum, a 12 pack a day. I love all the encouragement that you've gotten here, that's what we do here. However, I'm going to be a bit more blunt and the reason for that is because I've been exactly in your shoes and I know EXACTLY what it takes. First and foremost, all your problems are because of your weight, everyone of them. Get rid of the weight and get rid of the problems. Laziness breeds laziness and what I mean by that is, the lazier you allow yourself to be the lazier you'll get. There is one and ONLY ONE way to stop that. You just have to fucking DO IT. It sucks ass, I won't lie. It's not fun, it's not exciting but it BECOMES fun and exciting. Once you see the weight starting to come off it becomes a game changer. I won't beat around the bush, we can throw multiple inspirational quotes at you all day long and it's meaningless. The only way for you to make a change is you first have to want it so bad from within yourself that when you think about it, it makes you cry. Look at yourself and call yourself a fat bitch, get mad at yourself, and hate your current self. These are the motivating factors that will force you to change your life. Don't take what I'm saying the wrong way, once again I've literally been 110% in your shoes and it's the only way to get it done. It can happen and it WILL happen but only if it's 1000% what you want. If it's 1000% what you want, you won't make excuses, you won't have time for excuses, and you sure as hell won't let laziness and a lack of motivation get in your way. As a matter of fact, if you want it badly enough that it makes you cry, NOTHING and I mean NOTHING will stand in your way. It all starts with you and it all finishes with you. There is NOTHING you can inject or take to get this brother. The only way to get this is with diet and 110% dedication and hard work. You must go to the gym when your tired, you must FORCE yourself to do EVERYTHING you don't want to do. You must get uncomfortable, you must sweat, you must get mad, you must truly hate your fat in the worst way possible. At 22 the fat will peel off of you and you must do it now before you get older and it becomes almost impossible, due to slowed metabolism, a career, and a family. Next you must really consider your overall health and where you're going to be at in 5 years. I can tell you, if you don't make this change RIGHT NOW, the place you'll be will not be pretty. Your health will start to fail, you'll start having to have Dr trips, and all those problems you described will be 100 times worse in just 5 years. When I was your age I didn't think I would ever be married and have kids, I didn't want it. Now I'm 30 with a wife and a son that I love more than anything on this earth. Think about your future family, whether you want that now or not, think about the possibility that you might want that in the future and get yourself healthy for them. ANYTHING you need on this journey, any diet advice, training advice, or just someone to talk to that's been in your shoes, do not hesitate to message me. I'm here to help you succeed as best as I can. Good luck brother, if I can do it ANYONE can. Just to give you a little motivation this was/is me.
