Lost everything

[Proud2BaDad]

I'm Ryan. I'm 45 yrs old. 6'1" and 295 lbs. I don't know my bodyfat%. Currently, my only exercise is 2 flights of stairs while I go to work and come home. Diet is extremely poor (75% fast food and soda, 25% 170 cal meals from Walmart. Diagnosed with anxiety and depression. Recently took 1 yr off from wrk to care for sick daughter (cerebral palsy, brain surgery, leg surgeries, etc) and lost everything. Now family and I living in motel for 7 months. Will be here till back on our feet. Need inexpensive diet. We only have small refrig and microwave for me, wife and 2 teens. No stove or oven. Can eat canned veg (salt free). Some veg if they fit in tiny frig. I can jog outside and do stairs here. Any help?

Hi, Ryan & welcome to the forum. I love your username. You deserve to be a proud Dad. Giving up work to care for your sick daughter is a selfless act & I admire you for it. I am so sorry that your financial circumstances are currently poor, but it seems to me that your strong family values & positive outlook will get you through this time. -

Will be here till back on our feet.

The 1st thing I thought of to cut down your calorie intake is to drop the soda. Is your tap water OK to drink? I am sure that others will come up with some good ideas, but without a decent sized fridge, I'm scratching my head. Fast food is so cheap & so high in calories & that is half the problem with the world's obesity problem.
Might I suggest moving this thread over to the diary section of the forum where it is quite active? I feel sure that some of my forum friends will have some ideas for you. You can copy your original post & paste it into a new thread at https://weight-loss.fitness.com/forums/weight-loss-diary.9/ or let me know here if you want me to do it for you.
