I’m not sure how to organize my thoughts here, so bare with me.
I’ve been overweight/obese for the majority of my life. I was “the fat kid” through most of elementary and high school. There were a few years in my early 20s where I was at a healthy weight. But by my late 20s, I was back into overweight territory and have stayed there ever since (now in my mid 40s). At my heaviest, I was around 240 and a 40 inch waist.
I’d made a couple attempts to loose weight over the years, the most successful got me down to 220, but didn’t last very long. I’d even tried jogging regularly during the Covid years, getting up to 5k of continuous running in about 36 minutes. But this did not cause any weight loss.
