28 year old male and I've always been into sports all of my life and being fit up until I got to college. Cared more about having fun and doing stuff with friends over my health which I regretted years later. I really started my weight gain when I got into a relationship that really took a toll on me physically and most of all mentally. I was with my ex for about 4 years and she was just very manipulative, controlling and just a very jealous person of everything. I was stuck in a dark place mentally and lost myself as a person. I ballooned up to my highest weight ever which was around 310 lbs and didn't care at the time about doing something about it. (This is me at a few of my biggest times https://imgur.com/xij1Oh1)
After finally getting out of that toxic relationship I couldn't believe how much I had let myself go. I had severe anxiety and was dealing with depression which I was drinking to cover it all up. Finally told myself that it was time to get back into shape and fix myself mentally through it all. After cleaning up my diet, finding a workout plan and constantly learning I was able to drop 95 lbs. Took me about 2 years to drop the weight and this was the outcome (https://imgur.com/fCwfdJs). Honestly makes me cry sometimes looking back to what I let myself get to and I'm so grateful I was able to pull myself from that dark place.
The reason I wanted to post today is because I finally got my weight under 200 lbs and weighed in at 197lbs this morning. Haven't been this lean since before college and I feel amazing right now. I still have a lot of goals I want to accomplish and get to where I want to look physically but right now I'm super pumped. Currently training for a half marathon which I never thought was possible and I can't wait.
