Well not quite, however a bunch of users replied to a comment I made about turning it around after a poem he wrote, and told me to come over here, so fuck it here I am.
I'm so pissed at myself, I went from 145kg to 111kg (age 29, now am 33) and since starting a PhD in the last 2 years I've put back 30kg. At the height of it all I was benching 110kg, squatting 130 and deadlifting 140, I'm 6'4 for reference and I could easily dunk a basketball at that stage. God damn it I was happy too! I know how to lose weight, I know how to eat right, but I have had huge issues staying on the wagon. It started with a string of injuries (I've since retired from Bball but was only playing1 day a week), Emotional eating, not making time for gym (and being exhausted after a day of PhD chemistry lab work, where my research is related to cardiac disease, chronic inflammation etc so I fucking know better than most what's up), I've had a low testosterone thing which hasn't been treated, ADHD (hence disorganisation, excuse making, putting things off) and sleep apnoea (currently treated). I've dealt with a lot of bullshit drama with housemates etc recently however that shouldn't be an excuse.
I feel so exhausted and just worn out as of late, in general I have more miserable days than I do happy ones. I look at old photos and wonder how can a supposedly smart person can fuck the show so badly. My biggest problem diet wise is that I'm so all over the place I will often resort to ordering takeaway food because the things I have bought to cook either go off or I don't have the day to day mental reserves to bring myself to actually cook (in turn causing things to go off). Adding to that, I'll come home with a very loud mind from all the things going on in the lab, and quieten it with some weed which adds to the lazy hungry thing. I'm not so much posting to ask reddit to do everything for me, in fact I don't really expect many will read this sad tale of self pity and sabotage...I kind of started writing this when I woke up and here I am.
I'm not sure if it's motivation I need, I think it might just be discipline
Tl;dr: Came here following a deluge of suggestions to do so, and all I've done so far is complain.
