I've been fat ever since I was a child, and I'm literally sick of it. I recently turned 30, and I'm approaching 300lbs. I've done some dieting in the past, but I've always lost interest. "I'm fine with my body. It's everyone else that has a problem with it." The reality is I don't even allow myself to be photographed, because I'm disgusted I let it get this bad.
My family recently started planning a trip to Disneyland around Thanksgiving 2020. I love Disneyland. The problem is that I can't enjoy it. Walking all day brings me horrible pain, and I could barely squeeze into many of the rides when I went nearly a decade and 50lbs ago. No way I'm going to be able to now. I know that sounds really stupid, but it has me motivated, so I'm grabbing on to it and not letting go.
So far, I'm about a week deep into IF at 16:8, and I'm using MyFitnessPal to track my meals. I doubt it's totally accurate, but it's helping me monitor my food intake. I'm close to OMAD, but I've found that eating something light, like a hard-boiled egg, near the end of my eating period helps me get through those next 16 hours.
I'm also taking my dog on walks to the park every night. It's not much, only about 1.5mi round trip, but it's a start.
The problem I'm running into now is I'm finding myself really wanting to eat, partially out of boredom, and it's all I can think about. I'm desperately trying to distract myself with video games, books, Reddit, etc to get my mind off eating. Does anyone have any tips for getting over this? It's difficult to not binge eat when I'm hungry and have nothing better to do.
Any other tips that might help a dude get his fat ass on to Space Mountain? I have over a year and a half. I've got to be able to make some decent progress by then.
