Hi - I'm a 40 year old man who is 6'1" and I weigh 380 lbs. I have been overweight my whole life. I have a wonderful wife and daughter and I want to lose weight to be healthy for them - they mean everything to me. I've tried counting calories and I've tried weight watchers but my OCD (yep, got that too - been in treatment for it for a decade) causes me to "all or nothing" it and eventually I lose my motivation.
I feel like to have such a long journey ahead of me and it's incredibly daunting. I'm not even sure where to start.
Every day that I start eating healthy ends up with me eating junk by the end of the day and "starting over again" the following day. Every week begins with me going 'healthy food shopping" only to throw everything out a week later because I used GrubHub instead of cooking. think it's partially the perfectionism and ocd, partly to as a coping mechanism for depression and anxiety, and partly because I love food.
Sorry to blabber. I hope you are all doing well on your journeys!!! Any help or motivation would be very much appreciated.
Love and respect
Adam
