Hello. I'm male, 5.11 and weigh 257.8 LBS. I'm ready!!!

I've been making constant mistakes over the past year. I made good progress and then ruined it by overeating.

I'm ready to devote myself entirely to a new, more honest and strict plan. I'm throwing everything unnecessary (drinking on weeknights, staying up till 4 AM) out the window and realizing that this is my life, and life is all there is. The cycle from day to night is the constant truth, and it cannot be escaped.

I keep running away from my problems. In fact, depression has been probably the most difficult obstacle to my weight loss. I'll be good for a few weeks and then come crashing down. I realized recently that the words that my mind thinks in play a large part in how I experience life. So I'm working to stop exaggerating with words like "crashing down" and instead am making a conscious, good natured effort to shift these negative views into a reframing of positivity.


I'm glad to join this place. I'm going to reach my goal of at least 200 LBS by this time next year. First step is down 20-25 by July. I'm not taking no for an answer. No tips to slow down, no bull**** "advice" from my parents. This is my thing, my life, my ****ing choice. So, I'm going hard. Less than 1700 calories a day. Anything that can contribute to my success will be implemented. All things which can increase my well being and state of mind are considered. I'm a postmodern health/happiness machine and I'm going to get myself to full stop.

Now off to the grocery store!
