I was in the 400 lb Club.. Yup 400 pounds.. YES I Weighed in @ 400 lbs!!!!!!!! Currently @ 249 :) and 6'6" and HAPPY..

in #blog7 years ago

Hopefully this will somehow reach just 1 person who is struggling with the never ended Battle of being over weight.

I did not get to run around as most of the other kids growing up as I was often being punished'' a bad side effect of ADHD'''' and grounded to the house most of the time as a kid as a result....
Here is the BLOG I wrote that kind of explains living with ADHD a little..

https://steemit.com/life/@thinksalot/living-with-adhd-add-is-a-real-struggle-for-some-of-us-i-hope-this-helps-somehow

Anywayzzzzz, Back to the point..

Sooooo because I was always grounded, I ATE A LOT starting around 10 years of age or so. Eating was my only escape from the House.. So I just ate and ate.. Made up all kinds of good stuff over the years.. Crazy stuff!! lol

I have always been active as a young adult on and actually excel ahead of most in sports but I always have been over weight.
I am almost positive it is because I did not Move enough as a kid... Meaning running around and getting all that great cardio..Not to mention the social side of things..... that's a BLOG for another day....

I feel We are conditioned to our environment and activities, it took many years of hard work and LONG TERM thinking and mindset before I got to the 235lb mark.. I was finally in the shape I should have grown up in and not into..
I would be climbing Everest today @ 40 years old.... lol
Well maybe not, lol but you get what I'm saying.

So break that Cycle!!!

Right Now...... !!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry for yellin''

EASY START!!

No Drinking Calories.... That means no sugary drinks....
No Sweets.... Except once a week... Reward.. ONCE a WEEK.. lol
Last but not Least..... NO FAST FOOD!!! FAST EQUALS FAT!!! 98% percent of the time..

Think of FOOD AS FUEL...... Keep it simple.. :)

You got all that stored away!! :)

I really hope this helps at least 1 person.... be it a Parent of an unruly child or just someone who has had another struggle that has lead to this one...

Have a Great Day and STAY POSITIVE!! You have to Believe to Achieve!!

Get out of that Rut and MOVE YOUR BUTT!!!! ;)

Congratulations on your weight loss! I always had a hard time gaining weight for many many years but finally started eating right, and working out and now I'm the heaviest I've ever been but still in a healthy way! Sort of the opposite but I understand the struggle.

It is the same, just different. ;) lol I totally get it. It is all relative as well... If I liked being 400 then it would not matter.. Or If I wanted to be heavier and could not put on any more weight.. lol

Same scenario just a different issue..

Congratulations man! That must have been extremely grueling at times - you are an inspiration to all and credit to the Steemit community - STEEM On Brother!
