Pictures upfront: http://imgur.com/gallery/m2Axbj1
Backstory: 1st picture is from spring 2013. Around this time I had just dropped out of high school due to anxiety and depression. At that time I weighed 425 lbs.
2nd picture is now. I weigh 222 lbs. I am a gainfully employed college graduate. I have my own apartment which considering where I was in the first pic feels like a big achievement to me.
How I got from 1st pic to 2nd pic was through a lot of struggle but ultimately I did what I had to do for survive. For the first half of my weight loss, I did basic CICO. That got old and I wasn't seeing the results I wanted to as quickly as I wanted to. The second 100 lbs has been on keto. Keto has been a godsend as it has help with weight loss but also stabilize my mood. I won't say it is a cure-all because it's not, no diet/regimen is. Not all diets/regimens work for everyone and most importantly, they won't work if you're uncomfortable with what you're eating. I would strongly researching anything you adapt beforehand and make sure it is something you can commit to.
Enough of the rant. I just wanted to post this because, well, I feel proud of what I've accomplished and wanted to share. I have about 20 lbs left to lose to get to my initial goal but I feel as though I could probably stand to lose a bit more after that. I started out on /r/loseit. It helped get me going, so thank you all for your advice. Please feel free to DM or ask questions in the comments. I'd love to help any one of you.
