It took a lot of courage but here's my transformation.

Feb 27, 2013 11:33 PM

This is me about a month ago (sorry for the potato).

As you can see I'm pretty shy and I put on a lot of weigh a while back.

After my mother was eaten by a bat I decided it was time to turn my life around.

Thanks to the support of a plant, I managed to find the strength to become a new and improved person. Here I am halfway through my journey.

Its been a long rough two weeks but I think all my hard work is finally coming together. Here I am beginning to make some major breakthroughs in my appearance.

Now I have lost a ton of weight and I feel more confident. I think I'm finally ready to get out into the world and live life to the fullest. I want to thank all of you for your support, I couldn't have done it without you.

Oh, and here's a picture of my dog Bosco. We dressed him up like one of us for Halloween and he almost crushed my brother.

NOBODY DISCOURAGE THIS PERSON!!
