Anonymous asked: how much weight have you lost?
I’ve answered this a couple times now. I should make a FAQ page with just this question. lol.
about 80 pounds.
Anonymous asked: You should do a set of photos like the last ones, same poses and all, to show the progress you've made in your weight loss.
that’s a good idea! might do it on my next day off. thanks.
did a google search of my name and found my inactive account on Daily Booth. full of photos of myself before I lost all the weight. wow. embarrassing to post them, but I don’t have too many “before” photos of myself.
the-scandyfactory asked: your diligence is paying off! i hope you're feeling well and happy, Cory :)
Thank you. :)
jetset-go asked: Amazing, Cory! Thanks for posting that. I've posted some of my "before" photos, too, and every time I look at one, I cringe. I was also oblivious to how big I was getting. I almost want to be upset at my family for not telling me, you know? Ugh. But hooray for self-improvement! You're an inspiration. :)
Thanks!
Old photos of me do make me upset. I went through and deleted a lot of them off of social networks and stuff because I’m embarrassed by it. I also get upset when I think that no one ever told me how big I was. But they probably just did it because they didn’t want to hurt my feelings, since I was just as oblivious to my weight gain. But I guess that doesn’t matter since I realized how unhealthy I was and made a change for the better. :)
that photo of me before is painful and embarrassing to post. that was me at my biggest and I was completely oblivious to how obese and unhealthy I was. I’m ashamed to post it, but proud at the same time because it proves how hard I’ve worked and how much of a change I’ve made in my life.
jetset-go asked: Ooh, ooh, I want to see your before-and-afters! Also, how'd you do it? I'm always down for some tips. I'm 40 pounds down and about 50 to go. It's getting a little laborious. -_-
okay. I’ll post them sometime today.
really, all I did was count calories and work out at least three times a week. that’s all. people are always so amazed that I can lose so much by doing something so simple, but that’s what I did. I would limit myself to around 1,500 calories a day. I also did things like give up soda and not eat fast food anymore. but that’s all. it got harder for me to lose weight when I got in the 130, but I just stuck with it and now I’m a pound away from my goal. :)
futurespassed asked: In contrast to what anon said, I'd like to compliment you on your weight loss. You've posted pictures every now and then for a while and I have noticed it. I wish I could stick to a plan as well as you did.
thanks. :)
