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.
