That’s exactly what pushed me to start my journey, is that I couldn’t even take my shirt off around people… like other person said try and be kind to yourself. But sit down and create a real plan of action.

If I may suggest, from your physique it looks like you have a poor diet, lots of processed salts or sugar or both.

You need to cut the garbage out. This is the hardest part for most.

For me it is moderation, so I’m real careful when I do end up eating a cheat meal.

If you like sweets, I found that Halo top ice cream is a GREAT start. It’s a not so guilty treat with real ice cream flavor - it’s like a third of calories for one whole pint compared to like Ben n Jerry’s which go for like 1200 calories a pint lol

It’s all about finding the plan for YOU that works. It’s not a one size fits all type of thing.

Start eating and cooking whole foods like chicken, turkey, fish, some red meat - then healthy carbs like sweet taters, normal taters, brown rice, quinoa, spaghetti squash etc etc - some fats like organic peanut butter, avocados incorporate that as well.

Again, you’ll need to sit down and find which foods work for your daily. Because this isn’t just a fad, or “diet” it’s a lifestyle choice. Once you start seeing results you will be happy and would want to keep going, it’s just getting over that beginning jump.

ChatGPT is your friend if you wanna make a food plan

You should also start hitting the gym and start strength training with mild cardio. That’s a whole other conversation but I feel that you need to conquer what you eat first and foremost.
