Completely turned my life around

[j0el]

Didnt really know where to post this, its my story from the last few months. I'll start at the beginning though.

In 2010, I went from incredibly skinny, to fat and overweight in just one year. I dunno how, I just did, no exercise and fatty foods I suppose. I started feeling to embarassed to go to the beach with my friends, I just stayed home playing various games (particularly runescape, which I was addicted too). I lost my tan, which has always been very very dark, and became pasty white, eating take away and fatty foods. I lost all confidence and was very antisocial. 

Earlier this year I started thinking about schoolies, as it was my last year in highschool, I decided I wanted to lose all my weight and set my sights on a six pack by the end of the year, I signed up at a gym, and in 2 weeks all motivation was lost, throughout the year I started dietting but they only lasted a few days before I gave in. Halfway through the year I got a job and met a beautiful girl that worked there, but I lacked the confidence to flirt with her, but I really liked her. The job was at a fast food restaurant, where I could eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted..More weight.

 

The beginning of my weight loss: (Weighed 76 kilos)

One day, In early October 2012, my friend says to me. "Man you have to lose weight, how else are you going to get girls when we're in bali for schoolies 2 months from now?", I dunno how but he inspired me, he'd always be giving me tips to lose weight or change my technique, and I decided the day he said that that I was going to lose weight and nothing would stop me. I started a diet, no unhealthy foods went through my lips from October to November 21st, I went to the gym 5 times a week. In the first week I lost around 6 kilos and ended up losing around 17 kilos of fat and putting on like 7 kilos of muscle, I started going to the beach and socialising, got my tan back. At 64 kilos, I went to Bali and had the time of my life, it felt great not worrying about what I looked like and I was so much more confident. I'm now 68 kilos, havent gained any weight just muscle, and I've never felt better.

 

P.S.

The pretty girl from work, as of 2 days ago we've been dating for a month.

 

Remember to never give up on your goals, if someone told me a mere 3 months ago that I'd go from a pasty white fat guy to a tanned, toned guy with a pretty girlfriend i'd of had a heart attack of laughter, but look what happened.
