First things first, this is on mobile, so I apologise for any grammatical / spelling errors. With that out if the way, here is some context:
I am a soon to be seventeen year old male. My grandfather died three months ago. At this time I was my heaviest at two hundred and fourty pounds. When he died, we talked with my grandma and decided together to move her from wisconsin to washington state (where we live) so we can take care of her.
So I made myself a promise, to get healthy enough to be able to help take care of her. I was running every day and exercising two to three times per week, as well as hitting my calorie goals, so i ended up losing twenty pounds. However, one day I ended up messing my knee up pretty bad after doing a squat-run relay. Moving it at all made me wince in pain for a week, moving it a lot has hurt mildly up until around a week ago. Even though it didnt hurt a large amount, I was told by my doctor to avoid doing anything that made it hurt untill I got my knee brace off.
I realise that I could have stuck to my calorie goals and continued to lose weight, but I was in pain and food has always been my vice. I ended up gaining back five pounds and am now at two hundred and twenty five pounds.
My father is in the proccess of driving my grandmother across the country with her stuff in a u-haul truck. I have yet to make good on my promise to myself. So, as of today, I am getting back to counting calories, and as of next week, I can get back to running with a brace on. Also starting next week I will be posting on r/progresspics. I have been thinking of ways to get myself to keep motivation, and the more I think about it, the more I like the idea of shaving my head and not cutting my hair again untill I am below at least one hundred and seventy five pounds.
