I use to get bullied as a kid… Not going to lie middle school was some of the hardest times of my life when it came to my identity with myself. I use to have such low self-esteem during those years with my body, emotionally with myself, and relationship-wise with people. During this year I was going through an identity crisis and change with myself. I was growing up so I was becoming more aware of myself mentally and physically when it comes to my identity. I was struggling with feeling alone as a homeschooled kid, I was feeling depressed and I was feeling insecure about my weight/body fat percentage. I remember the middle of that year was hard because I was transitioning into a teenager. I went through a lot of feelings of depression, insecurities, and even with my emotional health suicidal thoughts because of my insecurities. On top of that was going through some rough times being emotionally bullied by this kid Caleb at the local community center where I would spend my time 3-5 hours a day playing pick-up basketball and practicing every day in the gym. I couldn’t take it anymore. I started focusing on my body and wanted to change so I played basketball 4-5 hours a day. I started eating healthier but also started eating less which led me to not eat anything except a couple of protein shakes a day that my parent would buy. I would slam 4x a day and barely eat any food at the time I was being really strict but now I know I definitely had an eating disorder. During that time I started to change my body type that year. I was growing taller, got leaner, become more confident, and got some girlfriends because I started attracting them. I started standing up for myself, started talking back bull shitting with the bullies who never didn’t anything physically because he was a pussy, and actually got into a fight with him one day where we had the cops come to the gym. After that, he respected me and didn’t ever treat me the same again. What I’m saying is I became obsessed with a goal and did whatever it took to change my situation. I didn’t want to be bullied, I didn’t want to be depressed, I didn’t want to be fat and I didn’t want to feel insecure. I didn’t have to develop an eating disorder to lose weight which I did was uneducated at 14. But all you really need to do to change your entire life is to focus for 3-6 months. Lock in on a goal, put your head down and put in fucking work if you want to change your situation. RELENTLESS REPUTATION 🐺
