(28M) I honestly kinda need to vent, but also I feel severely discouraged right now and found this sub-reddit and it has left me thinking. I've always been overweight, ever since I can recall. Always 2 sizes above the average size my friends were. I did not weigh myself during my teenage years, but I did when I turned 24. I was at 220lbs. I started a journey to lose weight in back in 2021 by changing my diet and working out (cardio + strength training). I lost 10 lbs on the first month and I was amazed, I really thought I could do it. I continued for 5 months. Since half the 3rd month I plateau'd at 205 lbs and was unable to get past it. My body just wouldn't cooperate anymore. I stressed out, and when got a full-time job, I quit the gym and bounced back.
4 years later and now I weight 250lbs. I measure 171 cm. Obese. I'm getting married in 6 months to the love of my life, and where I live it's tough to find suits that fit me, because of my size. I felt determined to lose weight, not only to be able to find a suit, but to have a better lifestyle, and give my future wife a healthier man. I've been working out for 4 weeks (3 to 4 days a week), I changed my diet again, I've been tracking cals, trying to eat at a deficit. I've been feeling the pump when doing strength training, and I've been making sure to spend enough time doing cardio, following the gym trainer's instructions.
I weighed myself at 250lb when I started. I weighed myself again yesterday. My weight loss after these 4 weeks is exactly 0.00lbs. I'm demotivated, discouraged and I feel again like my body is just not gonna help. I don't get the chance to say this often, but I profoundly hate my body, I am a 100% ashamed of it, I hate it when I have to change shirts in the gym's locker room and someone comes in and sees me without a shirt. I am worried that and I hate the fact that I gain weight so fast. I see posts here with people saying how they managed to lose 10 or 15 lbs just by dieting and I feel like a failure.
So that's that. I'll keep going. I still have an ounce of motivation left: she deserves a better version of me. My stupid body will give me hell, and I'm feeling like torturing it the next 6 months to force it to lose that fat, but I know that's not the right way to go.
