Ok the title is 100% clickbait, kinda. I turn 24 in a few weeks and I've been obese borderline morbidly obese pretty much all my life. I know exactly why, it all comes down to habits. My brain is used to low mobility, high calories, and therefore I have always chosen the path of least resistance towards these things, and lo and behold look where I am now, same as where I've always been.
I've heard that your prefrontal cortex stops developing at 25, and at that age it will be much much harder to break out of pre existing habits than it will be now, maybe it's pseudoscience maybe it's real. Regardless it's nice to have a time frame. If I want to live, like, actually live, I need to break my habits this year
I have one year to break these habits and form new ones, before my brain sets in and I'm locked like this forever. I'm completely lost, my entire family is unhealthy so I don't really have a reference frame on how to live healthier. I know CICO and exercise is all there is to it but both are completely foreign concepts to me, what exactly am I supposed to eat, am I supposed to feel full or am I supposed to be hungry.
What do I even do for exercise, is walking enough, how much exercise is too much for my joints, is there such a thing as too much, how do I prevent burnout.
There's a lot to learn ahead of me and I'd like to think that I'm going to be successful, but I've got a lot to learn and I am going to actively use this community to try and keep myself on course and learn from others.
