I am very short fat and ugly and I wear glasses. I've been overweight since I was thirteen years old. I am now thirty two. My body feels like shit and I can hardly manage while working. I am addicted to sugary drinks. And I eat a lot of fast food. I recently got a gym membership which I feel was a mistake. I hardly go but I want to go more. Anybody have any advice for me. I know it's lack of discipline and motivation but I really want to change. Not so much that I can attract foid, I will always be short and ugly but it's the Stuff about me that I might have the power To change. If both my parents were fat and short alcoholics. Am I doomed to repeat their lives?
The main thing to start with is eating the right foods and stopping with the bad ones. My experience - I was fat as a kid and now I'm not.
Only eat food you make yourself, make sure that most of your plate is veggies. Best salad dressing is plain yoghurt with some spices and salt.
I would suggest skipping white bread, pasta and rice altogether.
If you crave something sweet, use fresh fruits as a substitute. Best is something like strawberries, which are very low in calories.
Substitute sweet drinks with tea, If you are really having trouble use Stevia to wean yourself off.
Throw everything bad for you like sweets and fast foods to the trash. Never buy them again. If there is no bad food in the house, there is no temptation. Having them is like having heroin as a heroin addict.
As far as exercise, just take long walks. 2 hours, 3 hours, as long as you can walk without any pain. It burns decent calories and helps your brain. After a while you can start with calisthenics or something other that is light.
One other option is VR as exercise, since you are playing video games and moving, which is a double dopamine fix.
One other advice, when you are craving for a snack, start doing situps or pushups to distract yourself and drink water.
