Id first like to say, Id prefer nobody flames me, but I doubt that will happen.
On another note, I understand you may not think my story makes sense since my join date is Jan 2010, but I joined, and just lurked on the forums for quite some time, made a few posts, and ended up forgetting my account name and PW.
Here we go. 2 Years ago, I was about 300 pounds standing 6 foot 5 tall. Not too flattering for the ladies I might say. Not too flattering for myself either. I actually wasnt completely depressed, but my motivation level and self esteem was horrible. Even though I was still a good guy and people loved me, I didnt really love myself so much.
I finnally got motivated one day, Started to lose weight, a little bit, not too much. My parents used to harrass me and call me fat, offering to pay me to lose weight, pretty much making fun of me cuz I was so big. Alot of people gave me crap for it. So whatever, if you cant beat em, join em right? Id just rip on myself too.
That being said, I ended up joining EF. I looked around, and there were some really fit guys, who seemed content with themselves (looking to improve) But after seeing there pictures, I myself thought, damn even though this guy may not be super ripped or anything, and hes looking to lose weight, Id love to be his weight.
I think I posted or PMd somebody about losing weight, and they gave me some simple advice. It wasnt, Stop eating everything you like.....It was to simply stop eating so much, and so many bad foods. They didnt mind that I ate some junk...Well beccause I was 300 pounds of pretty much pure fat.
Time went by, and I was quite motivated, because I wanted to show the world, I could do this, and after I got some help online, and some motivation from pictures on EF, I started to go on a diet.
Well, time went by, I kept working out, dieting, not too hardcore, but enough to lose weight.
Im here now sitting at 215 Pounds. All because of EF. And thats not the end of this story.
I actually got into some tough times, my parents were rough on me, I had gotten into the drug game a bit too much. And eventually I joined up into a gang (Name doesnt matter here). I had a few buddies who were in it, so I was being stupid, robbing getting shot at, dealing, shooting at, participating in much more than that, but thats besides the point.
I ended up being homeless for a bit, so one of my buddies took me in, He had the internet, and I came across EF again. I thought to myself, losing weight was my main problem back in the day, and now all it is is drugs and violence. I came to realize what I was doing. At the time I had about 6 warrants in the state. EF was starting to be visited everyday by me. I kept on coming to it, and decided. I want to just find a place where I can live on my own, eat the right foods, and not be influenced by those around me.
All because of EF, I decided to move to a different state, I decided, you know what, Its time I start to try to get in better shape. Try to get ripped. I want to eat the foods im supposed to. I want to be able to work out freely. I just want fitness to be my number one priority.
Well here I sit in this new state. Left the ganglife behind, left all the old things in my life to start new.
I have since quit every drug I had used, except marijuana. Which I have now decided to quit. I decided to quit after not smoking for a while and see my gyno become slightly reduced.
Basically this site has brought me a whole new life to where now I am hoping to become fit, healthy, and lead a good life.
Im 215 pounds, and hoping I can cut up and get down some more.
I thank you EF and all its members. I know you may want to take a shot at me about gangs etc, but I frankly do not care about your opinions on that. Its a life decision that I do regret.
And as for my parents. Guess whos more fit than them now? Thats right.
INobody is giving me crap anymore, as a matter of fact. Keeping ladies off of me is getting to be a problem considering the new lady that is in play
.
Thanks again guys. Thought Id share. Left out alot of things, but thats the gist of it. Didnt want to make you guys read 500 paragraphs which it very well could have been.
Edit: One more thing. Ive been off all drugs since i moved, and I was a huge partyer, and ive now learned to tame my drinking down. I havnt had a drink for probably a month or so. All for diet. Appreciate this as I had to attend some AA meetings in my time.
