I feel like I can actually start living my life
I'm 46, happily married, have an amazing son, and a career. But it's only now that I'm actively losing weight that I feel like I can actually start living my life the way I want to. I can finally start dressing the way I want to. I am finally comfortable learning certain blue collar skills and possible career change. I can start living out loud and be as weird as I want to.
It's frustrating looking back at the last 40+ years and realize that I was so afraid of being myself and standing out because, as a fat person, I just wanted to be invisible.
