Hi reddit,
Im an 18y/o male, and just thought I would share this here because Im bored and maybe this can motivate someone else. I have forever struggled with my weight, was always the fat one in class and got bullied. Eating was a coping mechanism for me, when bad stuff happened in life food dampened the pain. At my heaviest I was 120kg, which was around 2 years ago. One day I decided that enough is enough and that this was not who I wanted to be, I bought an elliptical with some saved up money and went to work. Started exercising, intermittent fasting and reducing calories, my weight started dropping like a brick! This was a very exciting time. Much quicker then I expected I was down 15kg. Everyone noticed I lost weight, except me... I started losing motivation and started doubting if the scale was even correct at all, I just could not see any difference in the mirror! And then covid happened, homeschooling was very stressful for me and I just quit trying to lose weight. I focused on school and gratuated last june. When my school posted my graduation photos on Facebook I just shattered, I couldn’t believe how fat I looked. This gave me an immense motivation boost to keep going. I set myself a goal to lose as much weight as possible before my first day in university. I believe I succeeded, currently I’m at 88kg and still going down. I exercise a lot, I eat healthy and also started doing weight training. My life changed. I’m finally starting to see differences in the mirror, and I’m closer than ever before in my life to a healthy BMI.
