Good evening all,
I am 22, 6ft 3in and weigh 294lbs. To say that I am unhappy would be an understatement, however, only I can make myself happy again and it is time that I take control of my eating habits to prevent me from getting any bigger and more unhappy.
Even when I was young I was overweight - all of the way through Primary school as well as secondary school and whilst I have never really been bullied about being overweight it has affected me in other ways such as lack of confidence and as a result I find it difficult to makes friends and often feel lonely and angry with myself that I did not do anything about my weight sooner.
I had a browse through this forum last night and I was inspired and maybe even slightly envious to the successes of some people (in a good way, if you can be envious in a good way). What I discovered last night that hard work and determination is required to ensure a sustained and healthly weight loss and would really appreciate advice and guidance from you fine folks to help me achieve my goal of being a confident and healthy 22 year old.
Any suggestions or a diet would also be welcomed. My current plan is to go to the gym and start eating a more healthy diet.
I dont mind my actual weight it is size of my body. Curently I need to wear XXL size clothes and my work trousers have a 42inch waist. My goal is to reduce my waist size to a 36 and reduce my clothes size to a L.
So hello to you all and I very much look forward to being part of this community.
Many thanks and regards
