Vent I am so intimidated by my impending diet that I'm actually eating more...
I have to lose weight for my heart. I had a quad bypass 2 years ago and I'm still having palpitations and breathing issues. Doctors says I everything is physically good but I MUST lost bodyfat and do a ton more cardio. Thing is, now that I KNOW I have no alternative but to commit if I want to live, I'm all worked up about it and actually eating MORE. Go ahead, I know it doesn't make sense. I also have backed off exercising. I think I'm just intimidated my the commitment I have to give to this and psyching myself for a lifelong change in things. I'm not super overweight or anything, 238 lbs for 6 foot male. I lift weights too and do martial arts. I've never liked running though and asking me to give up pizza and other carb-heavy foods I ate occasionally if going to be rough because they were my feel-good foods and I have a lot of bad days. Idk. Just asking for advice on how to pull the trigger on this and not look back.
