Been struggling with my weight and depression for longer than I can remember. For the first time since at least 2016 my weight doesn’t start with a 3!

Male: 25yo SW: 350 CW: 295 GW: 250.

For the first time in a really long time I feel really proud of myself. I have been struggling with my weight since I was a little kid but I was always active so it never got out of control. Then as I got later in high school I had a lot of personal issues that totally turned my life upside down and I started getting really depressed and my weight got out of control.

I sill remember the first time I hit 300 pounds and I remember trying to get back under there but I couldn’t motivate myself and kept gaining weight. I stopped weighing myself when I hit 350 because I really didn’t want to know.

I have finally started to put some work into getting in shape. I’m seeing a personal trainer and have been doing intermittent fasting but I still refused to weigh myself because I was scared to see it.

Then the other night I was at a party with some friends and a buddy of mine posted picture of a friend and I and I couldn’t believe it. I actually liked how I looked in a picture. So after surviving the following hangover from that party (I do not remember the picture being taken lol), I decided to weigh myself. 295. I’m not a crier but I cried. Seeing that 2 instead of a 3 was something I was sure I would never see again. I still have a lot of work before I am where I want to be but this has given me new motivation. I guess that’s the end of my rant. If you’re still here thanks for reading! Even for the people that didn’t read all of it or any, you’re still great!
