too low goal

I get what you're saying about closed diary. I would suggest that you open it to friends and then be honest. Part of the reason we get to be as large as we do is through deception - either deceiving ourselves or trying to look good to others while we sneak food on the side. The body doesn't lie - if you put in too many calories more than you burn you are going to gain weight.

I know this because I lived it. Good luck on your journey friend! Sounds like you are on the right track and you are giving yourself many more years of quality life by taking charge of your body while you're still young. Keep resolute, and in a year you'll be able to put your before and after pics on the success section as having transformed from a large guy to a buff guy.
