age:36
height: 5'4"
weight: 236
I have made some minor attempts in the past at losing this weight, but I was always discouraged and gave up.
I have just bought a gym membership and went for the first time on Friday. I was only able to do about 10 minutes on the elipical and 15 minutes on the bike before I was totally winded and my throat hurt from exercising.
I went online today and found out that I am considered morbidly obese! that is very depressing. I am part of a volunteer fire department and first response team. I have stopped responding regularly because my bunker gear doesn't fit properly. We just bought new expensive first response jackets and mine to too tight. that officially makes me the fattest person on the team. Very sad.
My clothes are now limited to about 3 pairs of work pants, half a dozen shirts. By closet is full of clothes, but they are too small, not by a lot, but still too small.
I need help. I need to change.
