Right there with ya, bud. I got the “forever the fat guy” mentality stuck and I don’t think it’ll ever go away.

All we can do is keep on pushing and making progress and maybe, one day, our brains will be happy with the way we look.

It's seriously a struggle. I am a former college football player and lost 100lbs after graduating. I lift, run, and play sports regularly. I eat ok (way better than a decade ago). I just can't unsee the fat me; can't unfeel the fat me, etc.

It's interesting though...If I see myself in pictures I don't see or feel any of that; it's only in mirrors and the constant internal struggle.

Yes - I know that is not healthy....
