I have never been in a better position to lose weight

[jeffisbig]

Because I just weighed myself for the first time in over a year and my weight has sky rocketed.

Im at 278. Im wearing my fat pants (the only jeans that fit comfortably) and my work clothes are starting to get tight.

I haven't weighed close to this in over 5 years. I had a really, really rough past year and a half, and I ate fast food almost everyday. I have cooked maybe a dozen times in that period, most of that very recently. thats including just heating up food.

So I started again today. I am really at the point where failure is not an option. I can't get bigger. I just can't. I wouldn't say I feel motivated to lose weight, I just can't get bigger. I know if I don't start losing right now and stay consistant till I meet my ultimate goal, I will never do it.

So I'm back. I just started going to the gym again a couple weeks ago, and I started running tonight (in 20 degree weather, ugh). I just don't have an option to not do it.

My eating habits got really out of control. I started drinking soda again like a year back and I would get a 36oz or 44oz soda after work, and if i got food later, I would get another 36oz soda. It just

I hate being fat, and so this has scared me enough that Im gonna do it. I refuse to buy new clothes. I have plenty of clothes I can't wear because they are too small. I got rid of my big clothes, so I really am not giving myself the option to quit.

Wish me luck.

I know where you are with the fast food; I was eating it anywhere from 5-10 times per week only back in June of this year. Easy spiral, for sure.

Buenas suerte to you!

Fast food has been a problem for me as well...and not even because I like it. Honestly at this point it I hate most of it but when I'm stressed, unorganized and busy I don't think about food until I'm beyond starving. Alot of people suggested to me that I have stuff on hand ready to go, like cooking chicken up ahead and other stuff...lots of good ideas. But I'm takin it a step further and I've cooked up alot of food and portioned it out and froze it. It's been helping me avoid ordering out or stopping at fast food. Unfortunately then my boss brought me McDonalds breakfast in yesterday morning, lol. Anyway we're all in the same boat here and rooting for ya
