Pics or it didn't happen.

I know that feel! I wasn't as fat but I was around 330lbs when I graduated high school. I was, at one point, down to ~205lbs. Let myself go and gained 30lbs in the last year. Getting back on it and getting back down to that weight.

Wish I could afford the surgery for the excess around my stomach that won't go away.

Congrats! How do you feel psychologically now versus then? EDIT: How tall are you? I'm 6'6", so the weight was a bit more evenly spread out. Football player.

Same here. It was something to help me not think about it. Hell, I couldn't see my toes, much less my stuff, without looking in a mirror. I let others make fun of me and I'd go along with it. I had no self-confidence. Even got asked, by a girl, to the senior prom and I denied her.

Feels good to have self-confidence, doesn't it! :)

I wasn't used to it at first. Now, I love it when some girl comes up to me and introduces her friend who thinks I'm cute.

I'm still introverted in that I won't strike up random conversations much, especially in bars/clubs. I can't hear shat when I'm in there and I've stopped going.

There's a difference between being the asshole/douchbag and being confident/slightly cocky. I hope you still use your humor. I like to be over-the-top cocky, usually gets a good laugh.
