TITLE: My journey began in February and my life has been great since then.
POST: I went to the doctor in February with tonsil issues and I had to get them removed, I saw my weight on the the scale 287. Wow, heavier than I was when I graduated high school two years ago. I got my tonsils out and lost some weight but still kept my bad habits. Fast forward a few months and my girlfriend breaks up with me. This switched a gear in my head- I'm now on a strict diet and am gluten free as well + go to the gym 3 times a week. Looking at the scale and seeing it say 232 lbs is such a great feeling and I can't wait to achieve my goal. So glad this subreddit exists!!!
TL;DR: 
GF dumped me, realized I was a fat unhealthy kid and should change myself while it's easier. Lost 55lbs and counting.
