First time I'm not ashamed of posting a picture of myself

This is me starting off at 275(notice how large and bloated my face is)

This is me at around 260

255

This is me today at 253

Not too bad I think, I still have a long ways to go till I reach my goal but at first I thought I would always be heavy, but slowly and surely I am changing. Combined with my self esteem issues and depression, food was an outlet. But I am here to show that you can change. I was the last guy in the world who thought he could never achieve results. But I am proud to say I am proving myself wrong for once and it feels good.

Took about 7 weeks to achieve this and I am definitely not stopping at all. Not gonna lie it has been tough at times and I have worked extremely hard both diet and exercise wise. The best part is though I actually love weight lifting and exercising, and my stance on food has took a great turn, in fact going to the gym for over 2 hours every day is my favorite part of the day(I turn off my phone so no one can bother me and I'm heaven). I no longer have these intense food cravings like before, and I actually eat a lot less and feel less hungry all the time. Food is no longer the vice it used to be for me.

My clothes feel loser and I feel a bit more comfortable in them now. I know I can get slim, fit and toned one day and I can lose the weight. I'd definitely like to get back into physical activities like I did when I was a kid. I want to start running but might be hard with my flat feet and foot surgeries I had a long time ago.

Here's hoping my little story can inspire you to do it too.
