So a good year and a half ago or so my father started having heart problems, we have a family history of heart problems. My dad talked to me and told me that since I'm young I should change my health habbits now so I don't have to deal with heart problems at his age. So I stopped smoking, started eating good, got daily cardio exercise. Losing weight wasn't even my intention, but in about 2 months time I dropped about 90 pounds. Body felt so much better, was noticeably more athletic, also felt nice knowing I wasn't obese anymore. I still had room to lose another 20-30 pounds but I was still in the best shape of my life.
I kept up good habbits for like 6 months. Then I started slipping up, I stopped making daily exercise a priority, eating habbits started to get worse. Most of it was pure laziness, but my mental health seriously declined at the time and that didn't help at all. So in about another 6 months I started gaining weight again until i gained 60 pounds back and have flatlined since. Only reason I haven't put more weight on, is because my eating habbits while not what they need to be, are still way better than what they were most of my life. It's been a really humiliating experience watching myself lose so much weight to where I had to get new clothes only to outgrow them and have to get bigger clothes again. And I know that since I'm only 22, if I can't get control of my weight now, it's going to get really miserable when I get older.
So I'm here because I'm sure I'm not the first person that has managed to lose weight before but failed to keep it off. So I'm here hoping to find some people that could maybe provide some tips for me to keep it off next time. I know in the end I just "have to do it" but I'd apperciate some advice or feedback.
