Weight loss has been something I've struggled with for as long as I can remember. In the past year, a lot has changed for me, including my weight. It's very frustrating. I figured being a college athlete would help in that department, but it didn't. A lot of the problem at hand is my confidence. I don't care for how I look, how clothes fit, or especially how other people see me. In writing this, it feels like this could be a long article about hardship and inner strength. Instead, I decided to handle this like I do a lot of my problems, humor. More specifically, Spongebob...

You think you did good for your first year of college. You ran when you could and studied to get the grades you needed... but then you step on the scale...

Denial. Also the first step of grieving...which can be easily solved by spoonfuls of Nutella...

But then you can't fit into your favorite shirt or some shorts you bought after you realized L was too small...

But let's be honest, you got some fine legs (they're my best feature)...

It's a small confidence booster that helps deviate from what's really going on in your head...

Confidence is something I've lacked through the years. It's something I hope to gain one day.

But for now, I'll continue to be the person who is constantly down on himself, trying to make a change, while still loving to lift others up.

Also, I just really enjoy this gif above :)
