only good advice in this thread
but dressing nice doesn't happen on your first cops anyway, its a lifestyle change.

I was diagnosed celiac, stopped eating gluten, and I've lost 40 pounds in 3 months. I know /fa/ isn't very friendly to fatties, but I want to share this with someone, and one of the things I look forward to most about being skinny for the first time in my life is being able to dress well.

I'm now 6'2, 200 pounds. I have a long way to go, still have a bit of a belly, but my legs look like normal person legs now, my arms are starting to look like more than lumps of flappy flesh, and I generally feel so much better about myself. It's like it happened over night, I didn't even notice how much weight I was losing until the last couple of weeks when I finally started to feel it. I've had 10 years of failed attempts at losing weight. I've exercised my ASS off, but never had any real results. After changing to gluten-free, I just did the same exercise routines I've done for 10 years and apparently the pounds just started dropping. It's amazing. I'm even able to wear jeans that aren't dad jeans! I've gone from a 38 - 40 in Levis to a 30 - 32 waist size.

Anyway, I just want to say thanks to /fa/ for giving me a little motivation to not stop trying despite 10 years of struggling with weight. Since I started coming here 3 or 4 years ago I've found a lot of inspiration to try and pick up my exercise, and when that didn't work I knew something was wrong, which was what lead to me finding out that I have celiacs. Without you guys reminding me that I would always look like shit if I stayed fat, I might have given up.

I've always had stomach problems, and assumed it was just because I was fat, which is why I didn't pin down gluten sensitivity as a cause. I feel like a different person now in every way, and all I had to do was stop eating fucking bread and rice. It's amazing shit. Not sure I'll ever be a skeleton, but damnit /fa/, I'm going to look like a man before I get my first grey hair.
