I was always a skinny person. I never had to worry about my weight. I could eat and eat and never gain an ounce. That is one reason why it is very hard for me to take dieting seriously. Because in my head, I still see myself as skinny. I look in the mirror and it's not me looking back. I was always at 165lbs soaking wet, now 255lbs. I was a UPS delivering machine and got injured on the job. I had surgery on my back (spinal fusion L4-L5) and now I have complications from surgery which keeps me mostly sedentary. I have made a promise to myself to find ways to exercise anyway and taking note of what I eat. 255lbs is not acceptable or healthy. I welcome any advise or comments that will help me and hopefully in the future, with my success, will be able to help someone else.
