Before joining CrossFit Central the heaviness of my own weight pushed down on me, in both a physical and emotional sense, and I felt as if I was perpetually tied to a 200-pound kettlebell that would hold me back whenever I'd go. Along with that, my past obesity had given me extreme self-esteem issues, which resulted in me being a very needy and emotionally-scattered person in both my friendships and romantic relationships. All of that, and more, nearly drove myself down a path that I wouldn't be able to recover from, until I decided to take-up the power I always knew I had within myself to make a change.
Although it was a long process, I managed to drop over 80 pounds in under a year, going from 232 pounds and about 34% body fat in the beginning of January, to now 159 pounds and 14.4% body fat.
