Story time. Always been on bigger side, not tall lad 5'11 on good day, but always naturally stocky and strong so I carried it well into my teens and into university and beyond. At least I though so.
Ordered some clothes in an XL, that's ok I've always been an XL, clothes arrive and they are tight. Like look at my pot belly through this top tight. I think its ok maybe its just one of those slimmer brands I'll return them.
Second whammy. I go to yoga class, been going years but had a 9 months layoff due to injury and am unable to do certain stretches due to my stomach getting in way. I think to myself eh maybe I'm just not as flexible as I used to be.
Then comes lunch. I go Mcdonalds been active all day I can get away with it. And there are a group of teenage girls sitting two tables in front, later teens too 16 maybe 17. Then I become 'that guy'. The guy referenced as the fat guy sitting at the back in their conversation.
I have a thick skin I don't care what people call me, however the descriptive term of my weight being my identifiable trait now that's different.
So to that teenage girl. THANK YOU!!!!!! I now know I have to get 220lb ass into gear and clean up diet.
I post here to keep myself accountable. Counting on you reddit to keep an eye on me.
I shall be posting progress pics every month until I return to around 180lb or otherwise a healthy look.
Carry on on your journeys everyone mine has just begun.
