EDIT: Adding before and after pics

So I've never posted, and for good reason... I'm shit at it and I didnt think my story would be all that motivational, until I thought of the context in a different way. I was damn near being a my 600lb life case. So here I am to tell a story of an out of shape troll turned into a less out of shape troll.

For context I was a 6'3" 460lb ham planet (literally a couple Haitian children away from starring on My 600lb life.) I thought of nothing but my next meal and what it was like for a person when they could see their own genitals. But after so much time wasted hating women on the internet I finally found my way here... And sure enough it clicked. I sat glued to the screen ripping through the information provided on this sub like it was the dessert bar at the Golden Corral buffet. I employed every mental tactic I could. My 18 year old brain and dick thinking of nothing but that sweet poon I'd missed out on in highschool. Sure enough within the next six months I had gotten laid, by changing nothing but my head space. There I sat a triumphant, and still fat bastard... So I became content once again and nothing else changed.... Not until later that is...

I am constantly reminded of something my grandfather always used to say: "Life sure has a way of throwing us a curve ball here and there" and although I was never great at baseball I think I have a pretty good understanding of what he meant now. I had just turned 19 when I was stabbed 13 times in a gang initiation gome wrong. Long story short the little shit decided to carve off a couple pieces of the ham beast I'd been raising for the past two decades. I died, was brought back and sewn together. The doctors were very clear with me... The weight help to keep me from having my liver all but obliterated, but now if I didn't get it off I was a gonner in the next five years. I had just gone through a near death experience and I knew I was going to have the advantage of less intestines, and the fear of death on my side so I decided to get rid of the lard once and for all. Knowing just how much information was available I came back here. I read everything I could about weight loss. I lived, breathed, and slept nutrition. I went to a nutritionist and made a home for myself in the gym. Now at 23 I am 220lbs and roughly 17% body fat. A massive change to say the least. Guess what with the two cornerstones of fitness and nutrition the rest of puzzle started falling into place with ease. I have friends, I've smashed some of the girls at the gym and I've even managed to motivate myself into starting my own business. So if any of you think "There is no way I can fix the mess that I've put myself into." I'm gonna have to call you on your bullshit, seriously if you don't start now you won't ever get there. I wish I had just fucking done it earlier. Anyways long winded story over, good luck out there guys.

And seeing as I've had some people ask for the before and after, here they are.
