I've lived most of my life as the "quiet fat kid". Although I wasn't a complete social reject, I did manage to get comments such as, "You're so fat, the whales sing we are family!"
At the age of sixteen, I finally grew sick of it. Puberty did some pretty nasty things to my already chubby body. In the end, it began to chip away at my self-confidence as well. I admit, I'm not the most confident person in the entire world. However, I'm trying my best to ameliorate that situation.
I'm on my journey to finally be "110 lbs". (Or even less than that if I make it there!) It's not just about social acceptance. It's about a love for myself that I lost so long ago. I want it back, and I'm going to get it back, guys. ;D
Here are some photos from my "beginning" at 149 lbs:
And some current photos at 135 :
:] As you can see in my ticker, I still have about 25 lbs to go. I'm determined to get there!
Comments are greatly, greatly appreciated! Thanks, guys!
