Hi. im 673lbs, 5’7 and 27

I really hate to say this but unfortunately I think I am becoming close to being bedbound and would love any tips on how to stay active.

I haven’t been able to leave my house in close to a year, but recently I’ve noticed I can barely stand longer than a 40 seconds without immense pain. If i push myself then i can’t get out of bed for a while. I spend all day in my bed and unfortunately I rely on my boyfriend to help me walk, use the toilet and shower etc. I need to book a doctors appointment but I’m honestly so ashamed I dont know how i let myself become like this. I didn’t think I was above 450 until a few days ago. Is there any hope for me? Has anyone fully recovered from this? I know it sounds so stupid but mentally I think I’ve given up already. I really do want to get better but I am in so much pain all of the time and food is the only relief. I know it’s also making me worse but it’s so hard. Please does anyone have any tips for mobility?

hi. i dont use Reddit much and i’m really ashamed im posting under these circumstances. i honestly don’t know how i got this big. it crept up on me so much. im 5’7 if it makes a difference but i cant imagine it does

ive dealt with quite bad food issues all of my life. when i was 19, i went to uni and decided id finally put an end to it. i was seeing a doctor and i went from 396lbs to 343lbs!! then my mum passed away quite suddenly and violently and its like everything i learned went away. nothing in my life mattered but numbing the void. im 27 now and i dont know where to begin. im feeling so overwhelmed. ive been in denial that its been this bad for so long honestly i thought i was so much thinner than i am. my boyfriend has been really worried about me recently but ive just been brushing him off and now i realise he was right. im worried im still not realising the gravity of the situation but i cant do anything else so here i am

please do not judge me for this but i am unfortunately not able to leave my house to see a doctor as i am housebound. im not sure if my gp offers virtual appointments but you need to go there in person to book them and i cant do that. i will ask if my bf can get one for me and i hope so

because of my mobility exercise is not really an option for me right now. my boyfriend is more than happy to help me eat healthily but he works a 9-5 (often staying late too) and cant always make me food which is partly why i get things delivered so much. i can make sandwiches sitting down and microwave things but thats pretty much it. more walking/standing is horribly painful and im eating more fruit as its easy when its just in the container but i cant make full meals and i dont know what to do. im trying to get healthier meals delivered but its hard when there are so many offers on McDonalds lol and its right there easy to click. i know this is a really embarrassing question but does anyone have any advice on mobility and how to stand up for more than a minute? its so hard because i cant stand but then that means i cant get to the kitchen. and if i stand for too long and push myself then i have no energy to get out of bed again for a few days.
