[Request] RAoK, please help me save my life.
Reddit,
I come to you a broken and depressed man. I don't know where else to turn.
Here is my story. My name is Jeffrey. I'm 26 years old. My son turns 4 on Monday. I am all he has. His mom is out of the picture completely. I work full time but between daycare and my college and his medical expenses and just living I am broke. Well, I don't have money to spend on anything that is a want and not a need.
That being said, I am 6'1" and ~450lbs. I have never been taught how to be healthy. In 2010, I was at my worst. I weighed close to 600 pounds. Yes, I've made a lot of progress. But I'm still in the realm of drop dead any minute of a heart attack.
I have serious motivation issues, and I don't really have a support group to keep me going. I am active on r/loseit, but its not someone physically here to be there for me. I really, really want to get involved in WeightWatchers, but I can't afford it.
I'm coming to the random acts of kindness community today to get on my knees and plead for help. If I can get a 3 month membership to WeightWatchers, I can get all the books and more importantly I can attend the meetings so I can track my progress and have a support group.
I want to lose this weight (275 pounds is my goal to lose) and I need help. I want to be healthy. I want to be there for my son. I want to be able to go to a job interview and not get blown off because I'm huge. I want to afford health and life insurance. I want to be able to pick out clothes again. Please, please, please help me.
TLDR - Im fat and I need knowledge and local support. WeightWatchers.
