A C A ON 9: PJ'S UPDATE ON HIS JOURNEY FROM FIT TO FAT AND BACK

[wanttorockout]

I understand your experience 100%. When I was 21 I weighed 180lbs and within less than 10 years I doubled my weight to 360lbs. Aside from health problem, I experienced social stigmal unlike anything ever imaginable. When I was 21 I used to have very attractive women take interest in me. At 31 I'd have average to even ugly women walk away from me if I tried to talk to them. How did you get treated by people you never meet before when you gained that weight? 42, down to 280lbs and not stopping :).

@wanttorockout Thank you for sharing your story. Really appreciate it and welcome to the site. It's amazing how people treat you very differently when you are overweight in comparison to when you are fit! I often felt invisible and this ruined my confidence and self esteem. It made me realize how important it is to acknowledge everyone around me. Sometimes, a passing smile from a stranger can change someone's whole outlook on life :-) Keep up the awesome transformation!

@PJFATANDBACK I appreciate you replying and I did subscribe to your page. Fitness isn't a temporary thing, it's a long term decision that we have to make for ourselves. It shows that you care about yourself, improves your way of life, brings health benefits and people in general treat you alot better. I know fitness isn't about meeting a significant other, but I'll say it creates a world of opportunity. Confidence and pride grow with improvement. I hope to help others like you do.
