My story and finally finding something to show results

[chesterbanfield]

My name is Chester.

I want to share my (somewhat) success story because I see a lot of people experiencing the same issues that I was. I've tried changing my eating habits, supplements, etc to no avail. Being overweight is a mental battle just as much as it is physical, and I think that's something that a lot of people forget. The battle for social acceptance and constant anxiety of wondering if people will accept you for your weight can turn into a vicious cycle. Different things work for different people and I was lucky enough to find something that has worked for me. I lost 18 pounds in one month without much exercise and it's been a life changer. I know it isn't much, but seeing progress seems to have really helped with my depression/social anxiety. I'm a little embarrassed to post my before and after photos here but if anyone actually cares to hear what I've been doing then I'd be happy to help in any way. Just shoot me an email at chesterbanfield@gmail.com and I'll show you my before and after photos, as well as tell you about how things are going for me with the stuff I've tried. I wish someone would have helped me out when I was struggling to find a solution so if I can help you then it would make my day.

Hi Chester! It's very nice to meet you and to hear your story. I think it's great that you've found success and that losing weight has helped with your depression and social anxiety. Losing 18 pounds is quite the feat for one month, especially without exercise. I'm curious to know what changes you made to be able to make such progress. :)
