Finally to the point where enough is enough it is It is getting very hard for me to just live life I’m 31 years old 5 foot 3 and 447 pounds and would like to lose at least 200 pounds in the next couple of years it’s very rough when you are unemployed and are a stress eater and I eat whenever I’m bored which is constantly because I have shut myself in from the outside world from friends and family I’m hoping to get some encouragement to get over these feats and start with my new life thanks for listening 😁

    Hey man welcome. Feel free to add me as a friend. I'm a bored eater myself!

    I am still working thank goodness but in my free time at home during the quarantine I habe found that picking up a few hobbies has helped immensely! I believe once I heard its beneficial to try one physical hobby, one mental, and one creative. Walking or something may help your weight loss goals, and a mental one could be professional development, which could help your career (you disnt mention if you were unemployed because of the pandemic or just because) personally ive been debating getting an audible or a skillshare sub.

    You got a long journey but what they say about you feeling better is true. Enjoy healthy food for how it makes you feel as it fuels your body and you will do wonders :smiley:

    Hope to hear of some progress soon
