To give context in high school I was an athlete for the first 2 years, the only white basketball player, and in great shape, but I had horrible social skills and I wasnt very good at basketball, but I had a lot of respect from men and women since I was strong. When I quit playing sports, people quit giving me the same treatment. The muscle mass I had acculumated slowly dissipated, and I was still eating the same diet as before, so I quickly packed on a lot of weight, reaching 250 at my worst.

I dieted, bringing myself down to 210, but I was skinnyfat and treated without the same respect I had before. The girls who in the past would go out of their way to talk to me ignored me, and I felt like shit. I didn't get a date to prom, so I went with my friends feeling miserable. The breaking point was during the summer after my senior year when I saw my crush that I simped for get a boyfriend. I dropped all of my video games and went to my stepdad's gym. I grabbed every piece of equipment he had and worked out that night for a solid two hours, driven by my anger towards her and, more importantly, myself. I kept doing this for the next couple of weeks, and I started to cut down on sugar, which I had always made a huge part of my life.

1 month into doing this, I got confident enough to wear a tank top around the house. I went down to get breakfast, and my mom's jaw fell to the floor. She was in shock that I started to look better. To this point I was limited by my stepdad's equipment, which was very lackluster, only having a set of 20-pound dumbbells and a bench press. However, my college was starting up.

In college, I vowed to be treated better. So when I first started college, I found the gym, and I started working out regularly in there, 4 to 5 times a week. In college, the muscle mass I was accumulating got me a whole different treatment, then in high school, I got invited to parties, and I had girls treat me more like a man, 1 girl was even intrested in me but I rejected her due to red flags.

1 week ago, a girl who went to my high school randomly came across me in the university gym. She came to me and made conversation; she was in shock about my physical change. She said I looked taller and much bigger. To put all of this in context, I have only been lifting for 5 months at this point, and I am nowhere near reaching my peak.
