At the beginning of 2009, I decided that I was tired of being obese. I was 19 years old at the time, and was on two seperate blood pressure medications, and was prescribed medication for my depression.
The thing that really bothered me was that I weight 365lbs, and was in high school. Obviously it took its tole on me physcially, but mentally as well. I had no self-esteem, was shy & quiet, and did enough just to get by. The days and weeks were like a movie script; I did what I had to do & went home to play my video games and binge eat.
I had finally had enough. I was tired of going through the motions, not experiencing the life that all my peers were living.

The following pictures have been taken over the past month. The difference is incredible. People I went to school with don't even recognize me anymore. I have yet to experience feelings in my entire life that I'm experiencing now.
