For my third anniversary at my gym NerdStrong I had my friend Stephanie take a picture of me with the NerdStrong Logo behind me. When I saw it I was pretty shocked.. I looked good, and when I say good I mean really damn good.
If you know me you know I have body dismorphia issues and rarely think I look good. Folks around me have said how much I've changed in three years and though I know it's true I don't see it. I only see the flaws in my body, but this time around it was like seeing myself for the first time the way others see me and it made it feel amazing.
It's crazy how one picture can change your outlook on yourself. It's been four days since I took that picture and I'm still on that high, I'm looking at myself differently now. I'm seeing my large arms and shoulders. I'm impressed with my new neck muscles. I actually feel attractive for the first time in a long time.
I know it won't last, I'll see something or someone will say something but I'm going to ride this high for as long as I can.. hopefully I can keep it around for a while.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support.. I couldn't have come this far without it.
