I was in the worst shape of my life (5'10 and 215) so I thought I'd try and lose some weight and hit the gym. My wife started lifting back in January and really enjoyed it. Reversed any visible signs of macular degeneration I had, and got sexy. Type 1 Diabetes wants my eyes, so I got my shit together and said not yet bro.

I listen to audio books, and podcasts, alternate supersets with cardio days, and eat a very low carb/ high fat diet full of fish and veggies.Īs of right now all of the symptoms of macular degeneration have gone away, a couple of girls at work spank me and make comments about my butt, and everyone I know is envious of my discipline when I hang out with them at the bar without drinking and go to the gym afterwards. Then why cant I force my self to show up to the gym 6 days out of the week. Well, if I can do that for someone elses business and betterment just so I can pay rent so I have somewhere to live while I go to this job. The way I've made it work for me is to keep in mind that I'll go to work in almost any condition and get there on time. It came down to continue the shit that makes me unhappy and go blind before a suffering death. I've had more than my fair share of depression because of the condition(but I cover well), and I never looked out of shape, just kinda scrawny, so no one who doesnt know the disease would say I was being unhealthy.
I've got type 1 diabetes and I haven't been taking care of my condition, so anyone with some sense would have seen it coming. I started experiencing macular degeneration in one of my eyes and after a quick bout of anger and depression I decided to start exercising and eating right. The opposite sex (or whoever your potential sexual partners may be) don't see an ugly head and think 'dealbreaker'. I'm still nowhere near where I want to be, but I've learnt some things about myself and how others perceive me in that time.īeing fit and ugly is a shit load better than being fat (or skinny) and ugly. I began lifting, eating better, cut out the drugs and only drinking socially once or twice a month. But I slowly made better decisions for my health. The day I quit smoking was the start of a transformation that's taken longer than it should've, because I didn't see the benefits immediately. Abusing drugs and alcohol to cope with the crippling social anxiety that came with the body image issues. About 8-10 years of bad skin, gaunt-looking and skinny. I had an ugly phase that lasted from puberty to pretty much 23 years old. But you will settle into a look that suits you eventually.
