Never posted this before, so here goes. Maybe this can help some of the fatties lose weight.
At 19 I was 390lb at 6ft. I was huge, I was depressed, I had nothing to look forward to. Dropped out of college, no chance of University. No friends because I was an anti social beast of a failure.
My father nearly died from a heart attack that year. He was big too, having gained weight on since he got disabled. It sorta changed me and I started to swim daily. I found it hard, embarassing, the burn of embarassment in my neck as people watched me swim with digust. I continued anyways.
I then started to fix my diet. Over the year I read, and read, and learnt more and more from the information online. I lost 100lb the first year, and then I went on /fit/.
I read a thread like this and got inspired to run. So I ran. I jogged so slow, I couldn't breathe at all, but I did my distances everyday. I pushed harder than I ever could. I came home many times to my soles bleeding or blistered heels, splits in my shins or feeling like I was going to die. Fuck it, I kept going, I wanted to do this.
I hit my target 3 months ago. 80kilo. I ran a mini marathon this year in London, and I play to do the full one next year. I hit my first ever two plate squat tonight after 3 months of lifting. You guys helped me achieve this. Now I want to be the best, and lift the most, and run the furthest, and fuck the most bitches. Troll me all you want, but I know I will be great.
Thanks /fit/.
