Hello,
My name is Denny, and I currently live in Rhode Island.
I have always been a big guy. I reached 200 lbs when i was 14 years old, stayed pretty stable at 230 for around 8 years. Now unfortunatly my health life has taken a turn for the worse. I've never been what could be called healthy, excersize was never a big part of my life, i was your typical geek, spending more time on computers and what not then things i wasn't quite as good at.
The last 7 months or so are things have really gotten out of control for me. I ended up having to work two jobs. One working in a kitchen enviroment, and one sitting down for 8 hours in front of a computer.
Unfortunatly i fell into the habbit of skipping meals, and now my metabolism has entered into starvation mode. I rarely eat more then once a day, and have gone a day or so without eating a number of times without even realizing it. When i do eat it isn't anything healthy but something quick and on the run.
I can feel the obvious effects, my energy is lacking, i have moved up to 260 lbs, and often feel weak.
I promised myself that when i finally moved down to one job, i would make getting healthy a large focus in my life. My goal is 200 lbs, and to build muscle instead of the nothing that i have now. I will never be a small guy, this i've accepted, but i know with the right determination and discipline, i can turn myself into someone that no longer shy's away from looking into a mirror.
I've joined this forum in hoping that I can find guidance in things i know very little about. Ways to help speed up my metablism despite the fact that i have no appetite, and then once my body is working correctly to use my mass to make a body i am no longer ashamed of, and to build the confidence i have been lacking my entire life.
Any help i can recieve from here would be greatly appreciated, and i thank you in advance for giving this fat geek a chance to destroy a stigma of his life.
