I took two years worth of prerequisite classes at Eastern Illinois University, and now I am in nursing school, living in a different city. Anyway, I went to hang out with some friends at EIU last night and multiple people made comments about how I looked good. One guy, let's call him Charles, said "Blake you look great man. How much weight have you lost?" I tell him I have lost about 50 pounds since I last saw him in May of 2016. His response? - "Oh my God man that is freaking amazing!" Another girl who I had worked on some Anatomy and Physiology stuff with(in my last semester at EIU) came up to me and said "Where do I know you from?" I told her who I was and how we worked on some projects together. She was pretty astounded and said something to the tune of she could barely recognize me because I lost so much weight and how I look good!
Yeah, we went to Jimmy John's and I only ate the meat and veggies on my sandwich. Yeah, I drink Diet Dr. Pepper instead of regular Coke. But my long-lost confidence is coming back thanks to my old friends noticing that I have been working hard in the gym and eating right. I haven't really ever made a post on this subreddit, mostly I lurk. But dang, THANK YOU to everyone who shows support. It means more than you think.
