I'm a 22 year old guy in the US and I'm morbidly obese, 285 lb, 6'3. I think I'm ugly and repulsive to look at. My acne is horrible. I have a massive beer belly. My posture is a work in progress. Also, I'm unemployed and still live with my parents.

I recently started reading TRP because I was frustrated with not having any luck with girls since I'm currently in college and my social anxiety has kept me from practicing any of the things I've learned so far. I cannot even speak in class without getting nervous.

I want to change my lifestyle and lose weight and be successful with women. I cannot imagine myself with a woman in my current state. How do I lose weight and overcome my social anxiety?

note this is my first post here. if i'm posting this in the wrong section please let me know.
