Hey all, my name is Rich. In August of 2019 I decided I was sick of living the way that I was.. I wanted to be healthy. I wanted to go upstairs without needing a 5 minute break at the top step.. I wanted to be normal, to fit in, to not be ashamed and humiliated of my own existence. So since that morning I've been working to change myself. Here is my progress so far..ffyc6uwkyoxz.jpg

I never thought I'd share these photos.. put my own photo as a profile image, or would share anything about myself. Just sending this introduction took a year and a half and I'm still nervous about it.. I have a big mental health battle ahead about how I look. But so far I'm proud of what I have accomplished and I need to focus on that a hell of a lot more than I currently do. Here is one of my first steps towards that healthier mindset. Thanks for reading, hopefully I can get some advice and maybe even some friends along the way. Good luck on all of your journies.

    Way to go! I’m just starting and I think I can learn from you. And, I think I can offer you encouragement on the mindset part. After years of gaining and losing weight, I’m starting my journey in a different way this time. I’m working on changing my mindset and following it up with pretracking my food and it seems to be working so far.
