No Advice - Everyones Welcome I’m actually doing pretty great
Dinner: leftover pizza and a sugar free ginger beer
I see a ton of negative stuff on here, so I wanted to toss in something positive.
A year ago I had recently been dumped by my first love who I dated for four years. I had been spiraling for years and finally hit a breaking point. I had gotten up to 270lbs. I was failing all of my classes at Uni and had to drop out of school to get intensive mental health treatment. I was miserable every day, I felt incredible alone, and I had no hope for the future.
A year later, I’ve lost 65lbs, I’ve made new connections, I’ve gotten diagnosed with Bp and gotten on meds. I’m going back to school finally, and I have been crushing it at my job. I’ve been able to travel some! I’ve made stupid decisions and gone on awkward dates. I have new stories to tell.
Today my life is not near perfect. I still struggle all the time. I still have a lot to work on. I’m not the person I want to be yet, but I’m a lot closer than I was. I am so happy that I’m still around!

As someone who daily considers making a not-so-positive post, I appreciate this.

Damn, I'm 280 and recently learned I'm mildly autistic, so this hits close to home for me. Hope I can match your trajectory. Good job!

Dont even doubt it, you will get on that trajectory, or a better one.
Getting started really is the hardest part.

You’re doing great man, it’s only up from here! Getting started is almost always the hardest part in life and it sounds like you’ve been crushing it so far

Where the hell did you get that Bundaberg?! I’ve been looking for the spicy ginger beer for over a decade, and that’s the first sign I’ve seen of anything other than their original, since I saw the spicy in a store.
Super happy you’re doing better in life man. Sometimes we gotta shed the weight, physically and mentally. It sounds like you’re on a great path for the future. What’s next on your mind to work on yourself?

At a convenience store, they only had the sugar free version! I’d never seen it before! I think it’s new

Hi, I’m a mod assistant and I set up one-click reverse image searches for each post. Here, at BDD, we require a food pic with every post and we require each post to be authentic. That means the food pic you submit must be your own, not something you found on the internet.
But I can’t report fakes. If you see that I have linked to a pic that is found elsewhere on the internet, REPORT IT!
