My Transformation

So for the last couple of months I have been working on improving myself. One of my goals was to lose weight. I had gained about 25 lbs in the last three years (about when I had began driving), and gained about 40 in the last 20 years. I have very little opportunity to exercise cause our tractor is going 24 hrs a day. I tried to exercise by doing squats and crunches in the truck but it messed my back up and i could hardly walk for a week. I wasn't really eating too bad. I would only eat fast food about once a week but i did have an addiction to cokes. I never ate more than 1200 calories a day. So 3 months ago i cut out simple carbs and sugars out of my diet. I ate high protein, low fat food and only water. I average about 800 calories a day. I started at 157 lbs and today i am 138. My goal is to reach 130 lbs.

On August 12th, I began another phase of my transformation. I went to a cosmetic surgeon to start the process of removing my tattoo. It has been a hugh source of low esteem the last 10 years (But i have had it for 23 years). I can never completely cover it up and constantly wonder what people think of me when they see it. The procedure was painful but it is worth it. After i did the first treatment, I could already feel my confidence increase.
