Here is a bit of back story, april 12th my wife was 21 weeks pregnant, long story short, we lost our daughter due to cervical incompetence. My wife couldn't help but feel it was her fault because she felt she wasnt strong enough or healthy enough to carry our child, I assured her that had nothing to do with what happened but she persisted. Finally i looked at her and said if that's how you feel then let's get healthy together. My wife is what I consider in great shape 5'4 115lbs. I, on the other hand, was at my biggest and most uncomfortable 6'0 270lbs. She agreed even though she didnt need to diet she did start going to the gym. I am intimidated by the gym (I always feel like people are watching and judging even though most dont. It's my insecurity that made me feel that way) but I decided to at least eat better so I did. Today I am officially down 60 lbs (210lbs)with 15 to go. I eat all the same things I used to eat i.e. McDonald's, b.k., home cooked meals whatever I want just in modest portions. diabetes runs in my family and at my heaviest I developed hypoglycemia a precursor to diabetes so I decided to cutback on sugar...(since obviously my body doesn't produce enough insulin to break down the amount of sugar I was ingesting forcing my body to store excess sugar as fat for later.) The other thing that helped me was the lack of a scale, not have a scale didnt let me obsess over the actual numbers of pounds I was losing instead my clothes were my measuring stick. I started at a size 44 in pants 3x shirt and what made me realize my progress was when I could actually fit a size 36 and they were actually a little loose!! I am so excited about all of my progress I just wanted to share my experience thanks for taking time to read my rant.
P.s. since I'm feeling more confident in myself I think I want to start going to the gym any advice on workout routines etc would greatly be appreciated.
