Hey Veeky Forums I'm a 285 pound grill, 5'5 and I'm only 19.
I'm willing to get off my ass and change it but here's my issue. My dad has been built as fuck my entire life and he pushes himself to his total limits and I've accidentally adapted his strategy. Unfortunatly for me, because I'm so obese, pushing myself to my limit has almost given me an actual heart attack.
I'm about to go for my first run in over a year, what can I do to just chill out a bit more and not over-exert myself to the point of almost killing myself? And how can I turn exercise into a habit?
My over exertion usually means that after 2 or 3 days of exercise my body just crumbles and I fall out of the habit and lose motivation.
Pic related, it's me 2 or 3 years ago. It's the only candid shot that I don't hate myself in because the magic of a good angle and lighting means you can't see my double chin. I've only gotten fatter since then due to poor choices, stress and medication.
If this is real, you need a medically directed diet and exercise plan, where you are supervised at all times. In no way is it advisable or ethical to accept any advice from this board except to direct you to a medical professional.

Just don't push yourself hard in the beginning. One thing you need to make very clear is that you didn't gain this weight overnight, therefore, it isn't going to fall off overnight. One of fat people's biggest problems is that they push too hard in the beginning. Just go for a walk for like 10 minutes. Add two minutes every day or two, or even week if it helps. You're going to hate yourself and working out.
Secondly, don't overdo it with the going clear on food. Dropping all bad habits at once will make you want them even more. Start eating less of the shitty food, eliminating them entirely over time. You'll find you won't crave them when you pick up steam.
Thirdly, you talk about getting good at angles: Cut that shit out right now. By doing this, you're convincing yourself that you're not THAT fat. Trust me. You are. You might acknowledge it, but taking a good angle furthers your denial that your weight isn't an issue. Weigh yourself, take your measurements, and give yourself a really good look in the mirror. You don't have to hate your body, but know that it shouldn't look round and lumpy like it does.
Lastly: The first month is always the worst.

You should get a gym membership somewhere and just start off by walking and lifting weights. Also read the fucking sticky if you haven't because weight loss just boils down to calories in and calories out. You're much better served determining your TDEE and eating 500 calories below it than running and hurting yourself right now.
