I was a 5'8 lanky Asian nerd for the majority of my life, averaging about 120 pounds...after a few years of research, dieting, and exercise, I've evened out to a nice 145-150 pound guy (I guess I look more "normal" now), and I actually wanted to say that, I can relate on some level the psychological effects you're feeling...once you've been through that, you consider "if I could do it, surely, ANYONE could, you just have to be mentally dedicated...of course, my struggle was coming up from underweight, but I admire anyone with enough mental grit to push themselves to the results they've set out for themselves. Good on you, man, you're an inspiration to a lot of people, teaching that goals are achievable if you're willing to stick it out
