This is the beginning. This is the beginning of something big. This is scary. This is worrisome. The task is daunting. These are all simple sentences, but being happy in your own skin is one of the hardest tasks I still face at nearly 21 years old.
I have worked for the past 5 years to get from roughly 300 lbs to now around 210 lbs. My job is far from over. My goals are within reach but I need the motivation to keep trying, keep working, and eventually reach success.
A blog is something I have always wanted to do. From dainty sports blogs, to creating failed personal blogs, to now "Quest of a Shrinking King", I have decided this journey is too important not to document. There is no schedule for posts, there is no sponsors for products, there is nothing but …show more content…
"Get out of my way fatty." This was the last straw for me. I have had nicknames my entire life that I have been either happy or unhappy with but "fatty" was the worst of them all.
I consider that day to be a turning point in my life. If I could go back to thank that person I honestly would, but time never stops nor does it reverse. Recently, with the stresses of college, working, social life, and well....life itself, I have ran back to food as a way to escape the stresses of life. I know I am not nearly or even close to as bad as I was back in 2012 but the fear of ever going back there has jump started me to create this blog and work even harder to reach my goals.
I ask out of my heart you all go one this journey with me. I would love the support of the community I have loved for so many years. No judgement, support, and ultimately love is all I and others need to get healthy finally and lose those pounds on the scale. Numbers on a scale never define a person, I know that. I will always be that kid who sang crappy solos in high school talent shows or that guy who performed concerts to Hannah Montana in his bedroom turned
