So background information. I'm a male, 21 years old, 5'11 and I weigh a good 260 pounds. Some months ago I attempted to go on a deficit but ended up losing my motivation after getting extremely depressed. I started to work on my mental health and developed ways to deal with it. But I know that even if I have my mind under control I need to get my body under control as well. My entire life I've been overweight and it's taken so much from me. Didn't go to prom, didn't do this or that, didn't attempt to make new friends, etc. All because of my body. It only got worse as I got older, I cant even walk up stairs without getting out of breath.
I want to experience life, I want to make friends, to not feel like I'm trapped in this body any longer. I want to be strong and be able to fucking run. God I wanna run. Always wanted to do track but couldn't because of my weight. So two days ago I decided to start calorie counting. My diet still isn't the best, processed foods, microwavable stuff. But I'm cutting out some of it and adding in fruit, and eventually greens. I'm starting out at 1800 a day. My goal weight is at least 170-175 pounds.
Today was the first day I actually prepped a meal for a day in advance and it felt so right? It was a much needed sense of control and discipline that I've never had. I'm used to just making food and absolutely scarfing it down instantly. But to make it and not do that feels good to me. Is that an okay habit to form in the long run? Or is this something that I shouldn't rely on after I've reached my goal weight?
