rant: Will I ever lose it?

Hello all

First time posting here. Not meant to be a pity post, but looking for guidance/perspective.

I’m a 28 yo M CW: 221 pounds. Starting weight (Dec 29, 2019): 231 pounds. 5’9”

I have been obese my entire life. There have been times where I have been overweight (180lbs) but they are so short-lived.

In my current endeavor into weight loss, I am having tremendous difficulty. I feel that my progress has been so slow and I have had so many setbacks. I had a goal to be weigh 210s or lower by mid march for a special event, but it seems like that is not going to happen.

In general though, I just fucking hate my body and the grief it gives me. I don’t know if I shot my metabolism from some diet in the past or what it is, but it is just so resistant to change. On top of that, between my career and just random shit, I’m never able to exercise or when I do, my entire body aches for ages.

With all this bitching out of the way, is there a feasible/sustainable way for me to lose weight and get in shape? I’m tired of being ashamed of my body and my perception of my image taking such a toll on me.

I’m not looking for a miracle cure, and I know that I can be doing more. I guess I am just looking to hear any stories of people who have struggled and succeeded

Thanks all
