I don't weigh myself often, but I did last night, the scale read 298LBS!
last time I weighed myself, I weighed 282LBS, so I did gain since last for sure.
I've decided I seriously need to make some life style changes.
The main issue with me is over eating, and the types of food I often eat.
I often eat the equivalent of 4 or 5 meals a day, and most of that is junk food, either microwave junk food, fast food, or chips and chocolate bars, etc, drink a lot of pop.
I've decided that I'm going to 1:
- Cut down to a normal breakfast, lunch, dinner, and desert, and only light snacking, on healthier snack options.
- Limit sodas, drink no more than the 1 mug of coffee I drink with breakfast, replace sodas with sparkling/lemon water.
- start exercising regularly, a few times a week. Luckily, my folks and I do have an exercise bike at home, I live in the middle of nowhere, so I can go on nice country bicycle trips on my real bike as well, and there's a gym near me that I can go to as well.
Seeing as my main issue was massively overeating, eating lots of bad stuff, and never exercising, I think eating like a normal person, and exercising should make a big difference, also making healthier choices helps as well.
My eventual goal is to get down to 250LBS as my doctor said that that's an acceptable weight for my height and build. I'm going to give 5 months for that, meaning I need to loose 10lbs a month, which I think is reasonable.
My short term is to get down to 275LBS, in a couple months and a bit.
Of course, when I get down to 250, I'll just have to make sure I don't revert to my old habits, so I can maintain it.
