I don't exercise that much. I've been trying to walk each night. Today I had to mow our lawn which is super high. I had to pull the mower because it's so high. I couldn't even go around the yard twice before my legs were shaking and I was seeing colors. I'm so disappointed in myself. On top of that my mom was mad and yelled at me for not finishing it. I feel hopeless. I'm 17 and 350lbs :( I don't know how long I can keep doing this.
Sorry, to hear your struggles, but do not give up. Please just make small changes. You mention you started walking in evenings, that is very good. Eat lean protein, fruit, and heavy on vegetables. Watch your portion sizes and eat like good stuff every 3 hrs so you don't get super hungry.
I wish your mom was more understanding about cutting the grass. I am 65 and cut my own, but I have been doing it since I was 10 and it is a chore you should build up too, not all at once. Take lots of breaks and drink plenty of water when doing that.
Just take one day at a time and you will get there.
It is so great you want to change it while you are young. You have your whole life in front of you and just small changes will make a big difference.
