My names Daniel, I'm considered morbidly obese, I think. I'm 20 years old, I'm 5 ft 6 In, I weigh 315lbs. I'm otherwise generally healthy, my weight hasn't limited me to anything really, I never let it. But the health problems that come with being this big are getting old.

I like to eat and that's what I need help with most. I love to exercise, I exercise an hour a day. I lift weights, I can bench 160lbs, I can lift 300lbs and Ive worked as a weight trainer. It's food and soda that will be my downfall, if I have the money to blow, I can drink a 12 pack of soda a day. Then I normally spend the night sick and in the bathroom. I have been constipated for a full year now, and all the tests my doctor ran have come up clean, I am in picture perfect health.

I don't want to waste my good years fat like this, I've already ruinedy childhood and teen years by choosing food over social relationships, I'm not about to let my adult years go too. I need help, I believe food has become a legit addiction for me. Indont want to live this way anymore
 
Sounds like you've got the right attitude (aside from the crying ;) ) Keep your head up man, you'll get there!!
 
Welcome!!!!

Like you, I got sick of missing out because of my weight. It's taken six months, but I'm within sight of my goal. It's taken determination, but it's been worth it. My attitude and my life have both changed radically.

It's great that you are not waiting, but are facing this problem now, while you're still very young....
The first major step in this process is deciding what you REALLY want. And it sounds like you've done that... You seem determined for your life to take on a new direction and focus.
Now you're going to make it happen, right?
The fact that you love exercise is a huge plus, Of course. But getting the food under control is going to be the really vital component.
You might want to immediately start a food diary, preferable on one of those cool sites like "MyPlate" that helps you track the calories.

Best of luck to you!
I hope to soon be reading more posts from you and hearing about your weight-loss journey.
 
Good Luck to us!

I`m also a newbie here and was hoping to dig more diet infos. I myself gained weight after having a depression. Right now I seek nothing but physical change and development :) Good Luck to us!
