Destiny Skywalker Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Sorry, dude. We all have bad days. I cringe at these old chubby photos of me at a beer festival every time I see them. Be proud of the change you have made. Don't let it get you down so that you fall into bad habits. Make it strengthen your resolve instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3 & 6 years to go... Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Seriously, it doesn't matter if that was your worst or not. That's in the past, the key is not to worry about when you were your worst but to keep working to be at your best. Also, Tebow sucks.This is what I feel, exactly. Except for Tebow. I don't think he sucks at all. The Jets just bent him over by trading for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Ender Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Rock--this is awesome! Congratulations! When WM was in Orlando and I asked if you wanted to go with me, was the weight the reason you declined? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm not certain if that was 100% the reason, bro, but I'm sure it played a huge factor in it. Money and a bad back have been problems off and on so that could have contributed to it, but yeah, I was always apprehensive meeting anyone from here because of how ashamed I was. And thanks again, guys. You have no idea what your support means to me, especially today. Yesterday and today have been horrible sickness wise (vomiting dry heaves, nauseated all day with no relief) and I'm totally bummed out that not only am I not getting better, I'm getting worse. I am going out of town this weekend, so I'm hoping a change of scenery and friendly faces will do me some good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Believe it or not, I'm walking on air... I never thought I could feel so free. Flying away on wing and a prayer! Who could it be? Believe it or not, it's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 The best part of losing weight - being able to buy nerd T-Shirts that actually fit! Here's my little collection so far: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 And I just ordered an old-school Superman shirt and a Green Lantern! Gotta stop spending money now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Just got back from Walmart a few hours ago and I'm down another 2 pants sizes! Got great fitting jeans and very affordable. It's super cool to walk into a retail store and find clothes that fit - no more CASUAL BIG & TALL for me. The only down part was that today I'm so super sick. Threw up a bunch. But I was so happy to buy regular fitting clothes that I tried to put it out of my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creamtuff Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I haven't posted in here yet because I didn't have any digital pictures readily available of my heavier days, but I'm getting ready to move to a new apartment in a few weeks and we've been going through boxes trying to seriously downsize (ah, how appropriate for this thread!). As I was going through one box, I came across some old photos of me in my raver days and it so happened that I was the same T-shirt in one of the photos that I was wearing today to go through the boxes (it had long since been turned into a grungy-work shirt). It also so happens that I was 30 pounds heavier in that picture and looked like crap in general - bad skin, lifeless eyes, a general air of unhealthiness... and the sad part is that I was exactly 10 years younger in that pic! I was 22 then and I am 32 now. I had my husband snap a quick shot of me so I could share this with you. I hope this is a motivation - even unshowered, wearing glasses and grungy from moving crap up from storage, I still look a helluva a lot better now than I did in my early 20s. ****, I would even go as far as to say I look younger than I did when I actually was younger!. Getting healthy is TOTALLY worth whatever it is you need to do to get there. I'm not skinny (nor do I believe I ever will be), but I can certainly boast that I am healthy (minus the smoking, but I'm working on that), and that is something to truly be proud of.
