Hiya all, longtime lurker/stalker here.
I gained 79lbs since 06 because of several reasons. A few years ago, my family commented on my weight gain & told me to do something about it. I know their heart was in the right place, but I rebelled by cutting them (+all my friends) off & gaining even more.
I live in solitude. I have no friends/family around me & go from home to work & vice-versa. I make up excuses not to socialize with work colleagues. TV has become my best friend. I hate social situations, so I tell myself this is the good life, but I know it's slowly killing me.
I don't even know if my weight gain is because of food, or if there's an underlying condition (I have some of the symptoms of PCOS, but I'm terrified of checking it out).
Anyway, I hope to start fresh by taking baby steps. I don't want to starve myself & religiously follow a strict diet, which lasted a maximum of 2 days several times before. So today I ate light meals with lesser fat/sugar & went to the gym. A lady next to me ran for 77mins & I was panting at 30mins brisk walk. It made me depressed, but I know if I continue without hurdles, I would reach there hopefully
