I went to the gym last night at 2AM. I gotta be straight with you:  I'm 5'8" @ 220 lbs.  I hate myself.  I am obese by any standard.  I have been fighting this for far too long with outdated excuses and downright lies.  You guys have shown me the porker that I am and I hate it.  I have a wife and 2 children and I want to live long enough to see my grandkids.   Some people view this sub as a place of hatemongering and shitlording.  I don't.  I see it as motivation to make myself better.  I will post my before/after pics when I finally lose this grotesque shit that is weighing my body down.  You have my word.  Call me out on it.  Slam me with your insults.  I will use them to improve.  I will not die a hamplanet.  I will not die from beetus.  I will get thinner, stronger, and overcome this disease and disorder of the mind.  Fuck food.  I choose life.   Thank you guys/gals for everything you've taught me.  Keep it up.  Fat and shame should go hand in hand. (PS: Sincere.)
