How much weight did you lose and how long did it take? How did you do it? I’m a 34-year-old guy, 5’7", 245 pounds, with a 44-inch waist, and I feel completely stuck. What frustrates me the most isn’t that I don’t know to lose weight. I know I need to eat less, make better food choices, and be more active. The problem is that I can’t seem to stay disciplined long enough to make it work. A while ago I could at least make it several days into a diet before breaking. Now I struggle to even get through Day 1. I’ll tell myself I’m starting tomorrow, but then I end up eating whatever I want because “the diet hasn’t started yet.” Then tomorrow becomes the next day, and then the next week, and before I know it, another month has gone by without doing anything. Honestly, I feel like food controls me instead of me controlling it. I’ll be fully aware that what I’m doing is hurting my goals, but I’ll do it anyway. Afterwards I feel frustrated, guilty, and disappointed in myself. submitted by /u/jbrow9768
