It's hard.
I'm 39 and weigh 319 pounds currently on a 5'11" frame. Hate it. Hate myself. Hate the way I feel. Not asking for anyone's sympathy. I'm sure that I'll be made fun of and that's fine too. I'm used to it. Just need to vent and get some things out there.
Lost 70 pounds the spring of 2014 only to gain back almost 55 already. At my 70 pound weight loss I was still around 265 which is still fat. Lost steam on the motivation train. Had goals to be under 199 which I've have not seen since I graduated college. Hahaha yeah, right.
Thanksgiving and Christmas was a bender. Probably put on 15 just between those two months alone. I guess it's like being an alcoholic in that the self destructive behaviors are similar. And when you weigh 300 pounds you can't hide your problem like you can with booze in a cup. It's out there for the world to see.
So no hate on Bert from me.

I do not think anyone should make fun of you for any of that.
It is a nationwide trend that we are getting more overweight.
I hope you get the motivation back.
Just remember, every morning you get to reset the clock to zero and start again.
Everyone falls, the only important part is getting up.
Good luck!

i commend you for your nice honest post. there's definitely something to be said for that. 
that's very easy to do, every year i'm gonna exercise and i start off like super woman...a few months pass and i'm sitting on the couch thinking damn i need to get up. basically once feb/march gets here i spend more time thinking about how i should be exercising than time i would need to spend actually exercising. it's a vicious cycle. and what's even worse is that i used to be athletic, so you'd think it would be second nature, nope turns out butt sitting is my true actual second nature.

If you do not mind me asking what kind of diet have you been trying.
I did Atkins when I was younger (about your age) and it worked fast but I gained it back just as fast.
I am still in bad shape as far as weight, but I have been slowly losing it this year. One of the small changes I found helps is simply drinking the suggested amount of water a day and avoiding eating after 5 PM.
Ironically, I just became mostly vegetarian and have gained a few pounds( I just cannot yet bring myself to eat enough green vegetables and am eating too many bagels)

Not going to make fun of someone who is trying to make their life better. All of us have our problems.

Hey I completely understand your plight. I gained 100 pounds after I quit smoking. It's tough to lose. I do try and walk everyday during my lunch, my Achilles heel is I enjoy my beer. I could easily down 6 after work each day. I have cut back a lot in that area lately. I am, however, happier being 100 pounds over weight and a non smoker than I was at 200 pounds and smoking. I'd say it's a good trade off. Good luck to ya and keep the faith.
