Okay so like the title says, I've lurked in this subreddit for a while now. After reading all the amazing stories (or seeing youtube video's narrating them) I've decided it was about time I shared my own story.
Like many of the people who came before me, I've always been overweight or obese when I was growing up. At my heaviest I was almost 300 pounds (I weighed 134,7 kilograms or 296.4 lbs), which was when I was 15. In the same summer(2017) I learned that my weight had gotten so out of hand I decided something had to be done. I started walking more (which was easy since I lived near a small forest and was still in highschool) and counting my calories. I had cut out a lot of what I identified as "trigger foods" which I would just mindlessly munch on throughout the day.
I kept up the habits and here we are today, over 100lbs down from where I started. I can't believe I made it this far and while I still have a bit more to go, I still feel as motivated as ever. I started college in September and because I'm more confident I have had a great time so far.
