Been on this weightloss journey and I've finally cracked under 200lbs, exactly on Mothers Day. Got to meet family and they said they were proud of me. Fruit, snacks and carbonated water.
I have been avoiding my parents for a while, the last time they came to the apartment was unannounced on Feb 28th. That was also the first time I was invited to my first social gathering in my life. I even made a post about this on the subreddit.
My parents said that they were coming to visit me because it was urgent, something family-related. I'll tell about it next week as I've been posting every week, 19 to be exact.
They picked me up from the gym and we went back to my apartment, my mom brought me some clothes. I guess you can say that is mother's intuition because I didn't tell anybody about my weight. (I did receive my second compliment, from an older man at the gym, which was nice <3).
I wore jeans for the first time in about 10 years, yes 10 years. I've been just wearing the traditional fat guy outfit for this past decade, sweatpants/pajamas, oversized t-shirt and sometimes a jacket (usually with a zipper).
I am close to my weight loss goal, I know I will have loose skin and I'm fine with that, rather be under 200lb with loose skin than who I was on July 6th, weighing 320lbs. I think my weightloss journey will end at ~170lb, but I might get down to 160lb. That'll be half of my starting weight, meaning I'll lose half my body weight, 320 -> 160lb.
