Accept that it’s not a short-term fix, but a permanent lifestyle change. Accept that your personality will change. Accept that strangers will treat you more kindly once you lose weight, as wrong as that is. Accept that you’ll lose people and gain new ones. Accept that you’ll build a new ego and even get cocky, and that while it’s natural for that to occur, it’s also something that needs to be kept in check.
Eating healthy and working out is how to do it. Weight loss is the immediate result but the subtle results are even stronger and more long-lasting than the physical ones. It takes a while. I’m four years in my weight loss journey but I still have areas I want to improve upon. It never stops. But you learn to really enjoy improving yourself and seeing the difference in what people say and in the photos you take. Never in my life did I ever dream of being here, this happy with myself, having the self-confidence to go up to girls and talk to them, and knowing that I have the willpower to do what I used to think was impossible.
If you need any health or fitness tips, advice, or just somebody to complain to about lack of progress, let me know. I’d be glad to help. :)
