In general, I am a fat guy... but I am one who has on several occasions in my life been able to harness to motivation, will power, effort, and self control to improve my physical fitness in the past. I am almost 56 years old and am in the absolute worst condition of my life. I have made a concerted effort to up my exercise over the last 6 months with little effect. I can only imagine what my condition would be if I hadn't been exercising. Conversely, where would I be if I had eaten 2500 calories/day over that same time frame. I obviously have some type of binge eating disorder that I need to get some control over. I am hoping this forum and perhaps the accountability it may provide can help me before it is too late. I am so grossly out of shape, I can't stand myself. Any support will be GREATLY appreciated.
So disgusted with myself... I hope this forum will help.

Don't put your life on hold until you can be "thin." Live life to it's fullest.
I would suggest that you start eating "normally". As in, one piece of fish with a side of greens for example for lunch. Non-fat milk with non-fat cheese for breakfast. Stuff like that. A nutritionist can help you out, and you may find those in a hospital, and ditch all sweeteners and similar products. Go natural if you can, and if you can't, and I'd suggest doing cardio for an hour and a half daily if possible.
Also, The most important thing to know, is that your opinion of yourself won't be immediately resolved upon losing weight. You might feel a little better, and accomplished. But those feelings about yourself are going to stick with you unless you learn to appreciate yourself at any size.
