Tried losing weight about a hundred times. Succeeded about 90 times. Then it came back up again.
I wouldn't call it "suffering from" since i'm not in pain or anything, but I have to deal with an unspecified neuro muscular disease that i have since birth. What the NMD means for me is that I, compared to the average, get tired easily, have less muscle strength and building muscle takes more time/effort/calculation. Unfortunetely the NMD didn't come with an instruction manual, and sometimes (a lot of times) i'm not sure how to balance my energy. Being a student (still) I often have to choose between putting my energy into studying (thus sitting still) or having an hour or two of exercise. The combination of not being very active and liking food a bit too much has resulted into a weight of 128 kg over the years. A weight i would be happy to see dropping down to two digits in the near future. My reasons are probably the same as everyone else's: looks and health. So that, plus the fact that the heart is also a muscle. Still not knowing which NMD I have (I do go for routine check ups every once in a while, but they still can't specify)I feel like I should keep my body in the best condition I can, just because I don't know what to expect. And, well, I'm putting a lot of strain on my heart, I have for a long time. So I hope to finally get some permanent results.
I've been going to the gym for a few years now, but always had these periods that I'd go almost everyday for a few weeks, and then skip for a month. I don't eat a lot of fastfood (as in Burger King etc) but I do eat a lot of food sometimes.
So things I need to work on, goals of mine:
- Gym 2-3 times a week, around 1.5 hour per session.
- Join in on the everyday (exercise) challenges
- Less fatty foods. (By that I mean the unhealthy stuff: cookies, candy, pastry, caloriebomb coffee, etc.)
- Getting a grip on carbs. I know I need them, but I'm a big overeater when it comes to carbs.

I want to make exercise a habit again. And I want to feel like I don't need to overeat to feel satisfied. And I hope with the combined effort, I will be able to lose 0,5 - 1,0 kg a week (I'm hopeful)

If you're still with me down here, thank you for reading. Hope to meet you often around here so we can support each other on this tough quest.

Oh, my name is Sam. And right now, I'm 22 years old.
