Thread about me losing 170lbs, regaining 80lbs, and losing 90lbs

And how I became the Improvement Geek 🧠

In 2010, I was morbidly obese

I weighed over 360lbs and was pre-diabetic

I played World of Warcraft for 16 hours a day

I never went outside and had no friends

(1/10)

I dropped from 360lbs down to 240lbs in a year and a half

For the next few years, I bounced between 290lbs and 240lbs

Summer 2016, I was 290lbs

Summer 2017, I was 270lbs

Summer 2018, I was 220lbs

(2/10)

I was slowly losing weight, but I knew I could do better

I started reading self-help books to get a push towards finishing the battle

I quickly got tired of the cliches, so I started studying psychology and neuroscience

(3/10)

I started learning how my brain worked so I could improve myself

Then I realized I could help others by sharing my knowledge and experience

So last summer, I started the Improvement Geek project

Back to my weight:

In October 2018, I reached 190lbs!

A loss of 170lbs and 11lbs away from my goal of 179lbs!

The battle was almost over!

Almost...until I graduated.

In December 2018, I graduated and started my career

I thought that was the start of my new life

Thought I'd have it all figured out

Instead, I fell into a deep post-graduation rut

I struggled with depression, alcohol abuse, and binge eating

(6/10)

I was deeply dissatisfied with my new life, so I abused my mind and body

All along, I was helping other people with Improvement Geek

But I was struggling in my own life

It's an awful feeling to not be living the lessons you teach others

(7/10)

From January 2019 to May 2020, I rose back up to 270lbs

Now, the end of the battle begins

I've greatly improved myself over the past few weeks

I quit alcohol, caffeine, and artificial sweeteners

I improved my sleep schedule & started playing tennis
