Took a major step forward in the self-confidence department yesterday

This may seem like a very small deal to some but it was a major thing for me. So I used to be 255lbs and reached my target weight of 155 about a year ago. One thing that hasn't really changed this whole time is my confidence in my body. I know people see me differently and I see myself differently but it's a struggle to get me into any kind of clothes that are even slightly revealing. I still couldn't tell you when or even if I'll ever go to the beach and completely take my shirt off. So now that you know that, this is the progress I made. I work in a warehouse with VERY little ventilation and it has been hot as hell this past week. Yesterday I decided it was too hot even for a tshirt. So that morning I tossed on a an A-shirt (or as some of you might now it, a beater) and shorts. Honestly, the whole ride to work I was pretty uncomfortable. I was in the mindset that everyone would be looking, people would laugh etc etc. When I got there none of that happened. Nobody cared, nobody looked..ok there were a few quick glances but nobody remarked on it. An hour in, that feeling was gone and I was just entirely comfortable. Probably the most comfortable I've been with myself to date. Like I said, it doesn't seem like much but for me it was a HUGE step. Hopefully some of you out there can relate and might make a few steps forward confidence-wise too. I'm trying and hopefully you will too! Thanks guys. Just wanted to share with some people.
