Is it food or food+alcohol that got you there?question
Has anyone who is active in these threads ever been morbidly obese in the past? I'm looking for a way out but I can't figure out how to solve the mental issues that got me to the point I'm at right now. I've never made any effort about anything to improve who and what I am as a person. I could work myself to death to help people I care about but when it comes to myself I just can't be bothered and I would rather take the easy way out and play apex legends or rocket league.

Edit: What you describe is also pretty much me... Unable to sustain any workout/diet change for more than couple weeks to a couple months. I've gained around 40 pounds in the last year.
I made a gigantic pot of 4 bean chili on the weekend. That's probably the best taste/value dish I know how to make.

Do you drink alot?
I don't know if @waffledave was, but I recall he lost a lot of weight.
Usually, what you need to do is either start gradually and keep adding in or just cut cold turkey and live the healthy lifestyle from day one. Gotta find which one works best for you.
I did suffer from some depression+drinking habit that got me to 230 lbs of pudgyness at 5'11, but I don't think that qualifies as morbidly obese. It was easy to break the cycle because I was always active and I always loved training, so I can't really relate on that one. Just know that you are not different and you can get reasonably healthy with a few simple and "easy" lifestyle changes.
Do you hate working out ? What do you describe as a diet ?
I really cannot relate with this, I don't mean no disrepect, I just really want to know. To me body re-compositions are so easy that I could just decide to stop that eternal bulk and be ripped in a few months, as I have done before. I have this drive for results and I love seeing them, so it's really hard to relate.
Sounds like you're almost ready for a change. I was an obese teen (not morbidly though). One day I was just so disgusted with myself, wasn't getting laid, would stay in instead of going out because I was embarrassed about my round face and man boobs. I started working out. I research everything due to my curious nature. I just started going, and the chemicals that release in your brain when you exercise is a snowball effect. You get home and you want to eat healthier. You sleep better. You drink less. I stioped smoking weed around that time bc it made me a lazy POS.
Find yourself a couple go-to's for fuel. I like hard boiled eggs with salt pepper and hot sauce. I used to pop them like tictacs. Watch your carbs. Don't drink your calories. Have a cheat day. Try to walk to places. I'm a little bit extreme so I bought myself a stationary bike and only allowed myself to watch tv/play video games/ if I was pedalling (that amounted to 2+ hours a day).
You're gonna be fine man just get the ball rolling! I was an obese teen and in 3 years give or take I got in good shape (trying to get back to this as of today)
You look great, congratulations !
Probably too much too often and it often includes eating more than I should. Not every day but at least twice a week.
I'm okay-ish with workout, I just prefer anime, youtube and video games more.
Diet as in eating habits. Cutting carbs and stuff. I'm usually good when I cook, but I order way too much food way too often.
Anytime I make big pots of stew/chili/curry/soup or whatever I just know I won't be hitting most of my calories and that sucks, thats the only reason why I don't make it more often.
(I also got three pound of short ribs because I got a really cheap deal with my supplier at work, but don't tell the vegan crew.)
Is it mostly from laziness ?Probably too much too often and it often includes eating more than I should. Not every day but at least twice a week.

Dry spice, searing/frying, firm and salt/soy sauce are the secret to great tasting tofu. I can eat my fried tofu like chips because theyre so good.I am going to try to make tofu taste good this weekend. I've got a few recipes in mind. Mobu-tofu seems like a winner.

I was 1.81 meters with an average of 235 lbs for about ten years, ages 23-33 about. Got down to 180 and am now at 190.
Yes, you can break the cycle. There are many ways, but you need to be honest about why you are why you are. Have you always been fat? Do you have muscle as well or are you also weak?
You might want to consider a blood panel just to know if you have any hormonal problems.

I wish I had that drive. To me exercising is just hell. Doing the same repetitive movement over and over until it hurts, then go home and do whatever else needs to be done.... then start over the next day? Ugh. I don't mind sports, they're fun. Running or cycle is also fun. Lifting weights however is hell.
Clearly you've never been to Texas lolAm I the only person who see an obese person in that steak? Am I starting to see Jesus in slices of bread now???
