Hello. I'm Brad, a 19 year old going for a BA in Graphic Design. I've had this account for a while now, but it was only a very short stint, and I now I am back. Here's my story...
About 2 years ago, I had an epiphany, which led me to, out of nowhere, lose my fat. I am 5'10" and was 260 lbs. at the time, and had never before been at a healthy weight. And so it began: I started my journey.
With little trouble, I got to 210 lbs. But this was the most regrettable point thus far in my life. I had begun to think, "Hey, it's ok to have a pizza, or bag of chips, or a cheeseburger every once in a while." Which is true of course, but I kept telling myself this, until I was to the point that I was once again eating these things everyday, up to the day that I was all the way back up to 260 lbs. a couple months ago.
I refused let myself go above and beyond my top weight, and once again began my diet. I am now down to 233.5 lbs. and I feel much more confident about my loss this time around because my motives are different: I am not being driven by a spontaneous revelation, which will lose its impact as time goes on, and I know the damage of what letting myself go again can do.
In one way, I feel like I lost all those months of my life for which I had lost the initial 50 lbs., and I could be 50 lbs. lighter than I currently am, but on the other hand, I am still thankful that I lost those pounds because I would be 50 lbs. heavier than I currently am.
But regardless of all that, I am almost one-third of my way to target weight of 170 lbs. Looking back at how quickly the first third went by, I am confident that I can make it through.
