Hi there. So I’m in a bit of a predicament - a series of circumstances making my weight loss journey a bit... tougher than most people, but if any smart folk out there might potentially have some ideas or advice about overcoming my unique problems, I’d love to hear.
For the physical stuff: To start with, I am a 4ft 10in 22 yr male at ~60kg last I checked. I am also handicapped, meaning my lifestyle is quite static (in a chair or sitting 10+ hours a day, and can barely make it 30 min continuously walking before my joints give out). In the next few years I’m hoping to get some joint replacements, but before that I need to drop some weight so I can extend the little life of my original joints left and not wear down any future ones that may pop by (also I definitely got a beer gut that’s a bit obnoxious... and I don’t even like beer).
For the diet stuff well... I have what could be described as an eating disorder - extreme, mega-pickiness. Not the “oh I don’t much care for beans” picky but the “I will literally gag and vomit if anything outside of very simple food items enter my mouth”. Plain cheeseburgers, meat/cheese beef tacos, basic grilled chicken, apples, and pepperoni pizza are basically the most complex stuff I can stomach. It’s not a case of I just don’t like them, but I will try and force myself to eat more and it just won’t happen. Drinks I can deal with a bit better, so it may just be some weird texture/visual thing.
So far, I’ve tried a few things to a degree but it always seems like the effort I put in would get nullified by something or be unhealthy in the long run. I know the best way to lose weight is to eat healthy, and would probably be the best route with my physical issues, but considering I have a very limited scope to deal with, it’s a bit of a quandary. I was thinking maybe there’s some super basic, simple meal plan that would maybe help offset everything else - but I have no idea what that would be. If I could find easy, low impact exercises I could pull off that might be useful as well, though again, all my joints are lookin like Batman’s in the Dark Knight Rises crosses with arthritis so, yeah.
And yeah, that’s my perfect storm I’m struggling to deal with. Reading back I’m not sure if this is more of a request for help or a bit of venting but eh. Again, any help or advice would be awesome - otherwise, thanks for reading.
