It’s Transformation Tuesday and I feel inspired and excited.
It’s been over 6 years since this journey started. I’ve been losing weight and getting healthy for over a quarter of my life, and it’s all adding up within the next few months. If all works out as planned, my surgery will be happening VERY soon and is going to be filmed for a television show so I can share my story with all the people who so graciously care.
I can start giving back to help a few people like me. I can finally close the chapter on this journey from a 500 pound boy with no self esteem to a man less than half that weight who loves himself, and start the next chapter on my journey to teach these ideals to others.
The excess skin has been a pain this summer, because the heat has made it tough for me to do anything too physically strenuous where I’ll be sweaty, or I’m at risk for uncomfortable irritations. But it’s cooling down now, and if I’m going to start this new journey soon I’m going to end this one in the best shape possible.
I’m so nervous. I’m so scared. I’m so excited.

This is a written piece I’ve worked on for a little while. It’s a personal story. It brings up a lot of things I’ve never talked about online. It’s a story about insecurity, about bullying, about societal pressure and about a journey towards self love.
I hope you get something from it. Like, Share, Subscribe.
Holy shit. How fucking beautiful is this piece of work. I’m speechless.
How is one human being so perfect in the way they think? Matt is genuinely such an amazing, loving, caring guy. Given all that he’s gone through he has every right to be mad at the world. Yet here he is trying to make it a better place. Here he is trying to show everyone how to love themselves. Here he is trying to change the norms of society, by showing us that it’s okay to love who you are, they way you are RIGHT NOW; that you dont have to change anything. I can’t speak for anyone else, but he has honestly helped me so much. Thanks to Matt I can look in a mirror and not hate everything about myself. Yes there are still a lot of things I don’t like, but I’m working on it. Thank you soooo much mattjosephdiaz for everything you’ve done. It honestly makes me so happy to see that people like you exist out there. I really hope that you never lose your passion to keep doing what you’re doing, because it is so vital. It is so so so important. You are truly one of a kind.
Stop you’re gonna make me cry
this is so beautifully executed and so freaking important
Everyone needs to watch this.
“Adore who you are regardless of size and fuck anybody who says otherwise. If you’re tall or short, if you’re fat or thin, you deserve to love the body you’re in.” -Matt Diaz

I know this is my ttc blog but I need motivation. So I’m posting this here. I’ve lost 18lbs over 10 weeks and want to lose 10 more in the next 5 weeks before my holiday to Turkey. I sometimes think I can barely see a difference but it’s a good start. This is embarrassing for me to post publicly but I want it out there to motivate me!
Also, I would like to thank my weight-loss buddy taralouise7 for all her support through this process :)

So I literally HATE the fact that because some one decided to hide behind anonymous to try to tell me that MY weight loss was fake purely because I chose a before picture that didnt have my face in.. Well here’s a BEFORE and AFTER with my face in the pictures .. Oh and youll find the same tattoo in the same place. You know it’s upset me that somebody would try to take away my achievement and diminish something I worked SO hard to achieve away from me purely because I was too EMBARRASSED to pick a before picture that had my face in it.. Do you know how much courage it takes to even show people a picture evidence of how over weight I used to be???? I am ashamed of my old self and it is humiliating so thanks for hiding behind anonymous and making me feel the need to prove something Ive accomplished.

Colon cancer is a societal scourge, killing roughly 700,000 people each year. The problem with regular screenings for it, though, is that they aren’t exactly a pleasant experience — as you might imagine for a cancer that occurs in that part of the body. A new x-ray pill could change that.

Picture on the left came up on my Timehop yesterday–2 summers ago, I was about ten pounds heavier, unhappy, and in denial about some severely disordered eating that was contributing to lack of self love & confidence as well as a dangerously bleak mental state.
Picture on the right is from 2 nights ago–while I don’t eat anywhere near perfectly, I am much more conscious about what I put in my body. I have a ways to go before I reach my body goals and I still struggle daily, but I’m learning to love myself and the body God constructed for me.
Both pictures show someone who is fearfully & wonderfully made, but the one on the right shoes someone who knows it.

Haven’t posted anything personal on here in a while, I have no idea why. Decided I needed a little personal reminder recently. Both of the pictures on the left are within 6 months before I started my journey. One on the right was from last week. It’s been 1.5 years and I am still amazed at the difference in myself between the two, physically but especially mentally. I may not be at my goal yet but I WILL get there :)

Recently, it’s been hard for me to accept comments about my weight loss. I feel like they are lies. My grandma called me “so skinny” yesterday. My neighbor said I was “skinny” the other day. Last week, two of the 2nd graders at work told me and everyone else in their group that I looked “skinnier”. I have this mental image of what the word “skinny” looks like and when someone calls me “skinny” I immediately think they are lying because I know I don’t look like what I think a “skinny” person looks like. This is not the part of weight loss I expected. The constant doubt of the progress I’ve made. I also didn’t think I’d have to go see someone to help me with this.

Last February(2015) I turned 27, and I knew something needed to change in my life. I teach, and I was having a hard time being as involved with the kids as I had been in years past. I was always tired, sick, aching all over, and each morning I struggled to find work appropriate clothing that would cover my body. 6 months, and 100 pounds later, I’m finding joy in shopping again! I focus on high protein, low sodium and limited carbs, and getting my steps/activity in wherever & whenever I can. I feel like my kids are finally getting the excitement and energy from me that they deserve, and for the first time in a long time I am very happy! Also, 263 days till my wedding! :) #effyourbeautystandards #fitness #health #beastmode #consistency #weightloss #beforeandafter

Alright, y'all. The nerves are real for me right now. I still struggle with the picture on the left.
This morning I woke up and weighed in and am now officially down 100 pounds. It has been a hell of a journey, but worth it every step of the way. For the first time in my life, I have stuck with a New Year’s resolution all the way through August. So far, in 2015, I have gotten my health back under control in almost every sense of the word: body, mind, and spirit. There have definitely been bumps in the road where I have felt myself slipping back towards old habits, but I have pictures like this where I can see how unhappy I once was and be reminded of how far I have come.
God has truly blessed me, and I realized how important it was to take care of, and appreciate, the body he has given me. I always exercised my mind but it was time I did something about my body. It wasn’t just about how I looked, but how I felt, and how each day I knew I was slowly killing myself. As the actual weight came off, so has the emotional weight.
I am so content with where I am in life right now. I’m excited about where the future is headed. Anyone can make the decision to turn their life around even from the pits of depression. If you are struggling, find someone to reach out to.
I think it’s crucial that we share the highs and lows of our journeys because you never know who may hear your testimony and realize they aren’t alone and find encouragement in your struggles.
My body is not perfect by any means. I still have stretch marks, which I am 100% fine with. I earned those. They are my battle scars and reminders of the war I have fought within myself. I mean it when I say you should love yourself at every step of your journey, but continue to always improve yourself whatever that may mean to you.
Lastly, if you are in a similar situation as I was and would like to talk, you know where to find me. 😊#Weightloss #ProgressPic #EffYourBeautyStandards #Fitness #WeightlossJourney #NoFilter

reformedgymshirker: A crappy low-res, badly lit, chubby-during...
A crappy low-res, badly lit, chubby-during picture, to keep me motivated. I always appreciate other people’s chubby-during pictures, as someone with miles to go it gives me something achievable to look toward. Thus am sacrificing the privacy of my midriff as an offering in return.
I’ve checked, and my weight was exactly the same two months ago (technically I was carrying more water weight in June, so in theory I’ve really gained weight, which just goes to show, the scale is a poor informant of progress).
But my wellness has improved. Now I am racking up 5 to 15k steps a day, (I love my activity monitor - that’s the only product I would ever recommend) and have got back to the gym a little. I am sleeping better, less fuelled by caffeinated diet soda, managing my stress better, less IBS-ish (lower FODMAP), and my eating is more under control.
A lot of this is really reduced bloating and better posture, IBS management, and a tiny improvement in my core strength, and not just fat-loss. I’m still in dire need of further unobesing, but it’s about 2 or 3 inches off my waist aka not feeling like your jeans are trying to surgically bisect you when you sit down. My arse looks tragically flatter, but my glutes are much better under all that, it’s just going through a bit of a sad phase. Sometimes you have to say ‘sorry arse and tits, but my cardiovascular system needs my love right now’.
My favourite thing about this is the fat fold in my back has reduced.
I guess the point is, going from very little effort to only a little bit more effort is definitely worth trying. Rather than the ‘Go hard or go home’ mentality, it’s more ‘Go gently and try just a little bit harder, then go home and eat 85% cocoa chocolate’.
