Decided to change my life this summer, today I reached my goal. (115 lbs lost, 6'0 18M)
I'll keep this short and sweet as I've been pretty active in posting my progress pics in this sub. Today I finally reached my goal of 160 lbs. I started out at 275 with a crippling eating disorder. Woke up one day this summer tired of living this lifestyle and bought a gym membership (shoutout New York Sports Club). Learned portion control, embraced the CICO lifestyle, and completely cut carbs out of my life.
Used to be the most self-conscious, shell of a human being possible. Couldn't even go to the dining hall at school without feeling like everyone was staring at me. I suffered from random attacks of stabbing pains all over my body frequently and couldn't walk up the stairs without gasping for air. I used to wear my dad's size 42 khakis (he's losing weight too now) and barely fit into XXL t shirts. Girls wouldn't touch me.
This summer I started exercising and eating healthy and the weight started dropping like crazy. I started running 3 miles a day, and took my mile time from 16 minutes to a 6:30 pace. Dropped my waist size to 33" and comfortably wear a size Medium now. Girls actually approach me now, never thought I'd ever see that happen. My confidence went from hating myself every day of my life to loving myself. Hardest thing I've ever had to go through but I learned so much about how rewarding it is to set my mind on a goal. I still struggle every time I see my friends eating Popeyes or whatever delicious greasy food that I absolutely love but I've learned to live with it.
Hope this finds you guys well and I'm proud of everyone on this thread who's decided to change their lives for the better.
