My name is Brady and I am 25 years old. I am probably close to the end of my weight loss journey. Over nine months I have lost 95 pounds with diet and exercise. I started at 263lbs and surpassed my goal weight of 185 now I have been at 168 for a little over a month. I cycle an average of 40 miles a day, TRY to watch what I eat and occasionally indulge in other forms of less enjoyable exercise, such as jogging, weight training or yoga. My life, my confidence as a father, husband and general person has completely changed for the better.
Without getting too deep into anything I am looking for support in a few aspects of my life.
A. My addiction to food, trying to maintain and healthy diet for an extended period of time. I'm not looking for perfection in what I eat, but it is so hard for me not to cross over the edge into problem eating
B. My marriage. My wife is completely unsupportive and almost encourages me gaining my weight back, passively discourages my exercise, all of which is done before the rest of my family wakes up for the day. I cannot get her interested in exercise or eating healthy. Don't know what to do. She has gone so far as to say she liked the way I looked better before I lost weight. A punch in the gut to anyone who has put in the hours and misery devoted to weight loss. I want the same for her, but I try so hard not to push it on her. I don't know.
C. Vanity.
Anyway. I'm looking for like minded people to bounce stress and triggers off of I guess. I doubt I have anything positive or supportive to contribute to the community yet, but maybe further in my journey I will.
Happy to be here. Probably post before and after pictures at some point.
