    Doug, I was in the same boat back in 2020. 630lbs. I was also living with my parents. I had a lot of medical complications. It felt like my world was ending. Not saying it’s going to be easy but the moment you decide to put yourself up first, it’s the moment you’ll change for the better. You got this brother. It starts with walking. It tons of protein and veggies. No more junk foods. Water! Water! Water! I’m currently 320. Lost 310 and I’m still losing weight. It takes time and dedication.

As a general rule of thumb, don't suddenly cut your daily calories in half. You can cut by maybe 100 calories per week until you're where you should be. You can still eat enough to make you feel full, but of healthier food. It's a struggle, but you're going to do great.

      Exactly. It’s just like a drug addiction. It wasn’t easy for me to just stop taking pills. This is the same thing. He can’t “just stop” he needs to get to the root cause psychologically and mentally and fix it, and he has to want to change. He feels so much guilt and shame he’s blaming himself like every addict does.

    • @mariahconklin4150
      @mariahconklin4150 ปีที่แล้ว

      Right? I've actually lost weight due to Covid but I ended up getting $600 in food stamps and bought too much food and over are it. Now that I barely have any money I'm really really glad so I don't over eat. It's actually healthy to fast. But yes I've literally been snacking on foods and I'm not trying to say this just to mirror the poor guy I was just talking to my ex about it how I am over eating a lot lately. Luckily if I do over eat a lot and it's acidic it tends to build up and I get horrible gerd. Now I feel stupid because I had those crappy frozen pizzas that are so unhealthy. I think in my head I want to feel sick so that someone can take care of me because I'm lonely so maybe subconciously that's what Doug is doing also. Plus I'm an introvert so I like to stay in doors but when I get a job I hate it everyone always tends to be the same with the gossip, harassment, anal passive aggressive manager, I tend to just run which is a trauma response soooooo I think Doug should try and figure out why he keeps gaining all of this weight but it sounds like loneliness to me. Plus he feels worthless. You're not alone Doug I'm not working and am behind in rent and my ex boyfriend is 40 years old and still lives with his parents his whole family lives together. I also fall into a deep depression because everything here in CA is so expenssive so it's environmental for me. I'm really rooting for this guy big time when I heard his voice I started to cry like I said we all struggle with something. Rooting for you also!

      To be honest with you, I've only really copied my ideas from a bunch of different sources, but I swear that everything I said was truly in my own words as I understood the source material.
      All that to say, I'm glad that you've found some comfort in the things that have comforted me.
      If I could make some recommendations of GENERAL topics to check out that I love?
      (Also keep in mind, no belief system is "perfect", I just like to take the "good points" from them)
      I was raised Roman Catholic so I always really vibed with most of the stuff that Jesus (allegedly) stood for in the King James New Testament. A bunch of good stuff like Suffer little children, Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, etc
      I also enjoy Stoicism, particularly the works of Marcus Aurelius. When he tucked his kids into bed each night, he told himself that neither his children nor himself are guaranteed to survive the night so this may be the last moment he ever gets to spend with his children. And you better BET that he savoured every moment of it.
      Finally, I enjoy the Buddhists. Specifically "Life is suffering". What it means is something like "Doesn't matter how good you have it, there's always gonna be something that you struggle with. Having to face a struggle doesn't determine who you are as a person. HOW you face that struggle is what defines who you are."

I'm frusterated because I still feel like I can work my thing is I'm just emotional and angry so I've been trying to deal with that. So it's stress related! But the social worker apparently thinks it's just so easy to get disability when sometimes it is not lol! We are proof you know? And some people get SSI for life and do drugs all day and night and for some reason I've been focusing on healthy goals and don't want to do even weed or alcohol...not sure what has changed really but I'm taking time on things (positive) that truly matter. That's what Doug should focus on and looks like he has a ton to do now like read, call his therapist, look up that actor, exercise so he is set. My new addiction is over eating and I absolutly hate it so sometimes it's getting out of the house because he's poor so what is he going to do go out and eat at a resturant? He is unable to. But for me getting out of the house, reading, The Finch App, doing uber eats with my friend, watching inspiring videos, cleaning my house, exercising, relaxing when I do work, dancing, listening to inspiring music, learning a new skill, going on job interviews, etc help a lot.

      He can do it to it may take a lot of work but I remember listening to one of John D video and I told myself I would get my Food Handler's Card...I ended up downloading the program and my friend bought it for me so I told myself if I don't get through it I'm not only going to disappoint him buy myself. After I went through the program I decided this is what I want for me. It takes time to do some things but I spent 9 hrs doing it so he can do it also I believe in him.

It’s what you want most over what you want right now. I have lost 110 pounds in the last year. It’s all about you and how you are feeling about yourself. Change one habit at a time. Love yourself. You will see changes and will be able to do so much more than you can now. 90% of weight loss is diet change. Try and walk a little even if it’s right around the house. I promise each little change will lead to big changes. You are so worth it!!❤️
