Not many of you read my post before, but I lost from 240 to around 188 these days, damn close to a six pack actually. I'm very fit and most people tell me I have a very good body these days. Abnormally good. But there is something I would like to say to you all that are embarking on this weight loss journey.
I started mine when I was almost 19 years old. I'm now almost 21. Around this time I was not necessarily happy, but not always depressed. I hated my weight issues and always told myself I would fix it some day.
It started with a little goal of 5 pounds and over time turned into getting a six pack. Throughout this journey not only did I not see the changes in my appereance that others saw, I also did not see the changes in myself. I was always one of the happiest and friendliest people my friends knew. But somehow along the way, I seemed to lose myself, without ever realizing it.
I became obssessed with my weight and my girlfriend, who started dating me when I was around 230, went through hell with me for a year and half while I fought so hard to get "not fat" in my words. But no matter how much I lost I always felt fat. Every day was a failure no matter how far I had come. I almost lost the woman of my dreams because I couldn't see the good everyone else saw. I became a selfish asshole.
So I'm here to tell you all... Be happy now. Look at yourself in the mirror right now and say "I'm beautiful", "I'm perfect"... Just the way you are. And don't let anyone else ever tell you otherwise. Because I've found something over these years. True happiness comes from within, not from others. You are good people. Stay strong, and don't give up the fight.
Don't lose yourself like I did over a goal you won't ever reach. Happiness doesn't come from fat loss, it comes from YOU. Believe that.
