[quote=Anonymous]Op there is one plus to being this overweight: small changes will initially result in big losses which is motivating.

You should probably log EVERYTHING you eat daily for a week. Don't change anything, just eat how you eat. Figure out what your daily calorie intake is. My guess is much higher than the 2300 you assumed. Probably 3k to maintain your weight.

When you have a baseline, simply cut back initially by 500 calories a day. This will net you at least a pound a week of fat loss as at 3k a day or so, it will be so negligible as to hardly be missed.

When you've gotten comfortable there you can cut some more. Ideally you'll get yourself to maybe 2k a day.

Find some activity you like. Bikini Body Guide would be a good place to start- only 28 minutes 3x a week and you can do it at home.

You will likely need therapy since you have a huge emotional connection to food that will need to be addressed to do this. Your life will be so much better 50-75-100 lbs lighter.[/quote]
