Hope all is well

Here in Australia in my state we are starting to ease covid-19 restrictions opening some shops this week and cinemas and gyms and restaurants next month but still with social distancing and limits on numbers.

I've been well and everyone I know and love is well.

Anyway just want to summarise my journey for those who are new.

I started my weight loss journey 8.5 months ago at 322lbs and I had roux en y bypass 6.5 months ago.

From day one I chose to go cold turkey and cut out all the bad food sugar fat carbs and lived off protein shakes religiously for months.

By surgery day I was 257lbs and I've now technically been in maintenance a few weeks and this morning I'm 168lbs most days between 168/170lbs and have been that way for a few weeks; finally starting to feel good about myself that's a total of 154lbs gone.

Now when I look in the mirror I do not recognise myself anymore it's amazing to see how small I look now.

Everyone in my family is so happy for me because I spent half my life obese and unwell mentally not just physically but now my mental health is improving because I no longer dislike what I see in the mirror; is amazing how much my brain has changed now that I'm healthy and skinny.

I've only just started experimenting with food more than past 2 months and have relaxed in the carb counting/calorie counting but still quite aware of my daily intake.

i will admit I've had a few treats here and there in the past month but it literally has not affected me weight loss at all.. It's like I have a completely new metabolism..

I love coffee and I feel great mentally and physically and I cannot wait to meet a nice young lady who will appreciate me.

I'll be 36 in 11 weeks and I'm feeling better than I have in 20 years I personally think and feel like I'm going to be 26 hehehehehe

I've got a few photos to show you guys and I appreciate honest comments from the ladies

(it's not easy to take photos & get good angle of myself but I did my best)

Thank you.

If you have any questions about my bypass or anything feel free to comment or PM.

Starting BMI 43.3 current BMI 22.7
