16 and Obese

16 years old, introvert, 300+ lbs last time I checked, too scared to look again. Don’t have many friends, or people to talk through things so I’ve taken comfort in the internet, like many others. I face a dilemma every single day, from what I can tell after hours of scouring the internet for success stories I’ve realized that I’ve picked up on techniques that will put me in a better situation. I have maintained an Intermittent Fasting diet for about 4 months now fairly consistently, 12pm to 8pm feeding. I don’t eat breakfast because I find it to be kind of gross and unneeded. Being in High School, I walk home about a mile and a half every day not counting walking to and from classes and Physical Education. It seems that I am already in a good position to lose weight, but the dilemma stated previously comes when I’m alone at home. When I’m in the presence of people, especially my Parents I don’t feel the desire to eat, but as soon as it’s just me and a refrigerator of food... I can’t stop. It seems like my stomach is a vacuum, consuming everything in its path until it hits that fateful LEGO brick and cant go on. I’m trying, I really am but it’s hard to shake the feeling that I could be eating instead of doing anything else, it hurts when I start and finish eating... mentally and physically. I want to be healthier, I don’t want to be dead at age 40 of heart disease, or have a hardened arteries, appearance doesn’t even come into play for my desire of better health, I could honestly care less, I’ve come to terms with it. To be quite honest, I’m not sure why I’m even posting here, I’m not even sure what I’m seeking to gain from this. Advice? I guess an outside perspective would be different enough to warrant change. Motivation? Sure, but the positives of the motivation will dissipate within a few days. I guess I’m here for positive reinforcement, maybe. I’m hoping that r/loseit will accept me with open arms. I’ve tried to conquer this on my own, maybe it’s the wrong way, let’s try this.
