Guys have (weight) issues too

You haven’t sub­scribed yet?

Guys have always been taught that weight sel­dom mat­ters. Be rich, be pow­er­ful, be suc­cess­ful and women will flock to you.

But it mat­ters. To some of us, it mat­ters more than oth­ers. To begin:

I’ve been bulimic. I’ve been diag­nosed bipo­lar, ADHD and clin­i­cally depressed. I’ve weighed as much as 245lbs and as lit­tle as 155lbs. I’ve gained and lost 35lbs in less than three months. I’ve set my cloth­ing on fire, bro­ken my hand on an esca­la­tor and punched through a door. I’ve been hand­cuffed three times, never for the afore­men­tioned rea­sons. I was accused of rape by my fra­ter­nity pres­i­dent AFTER the girl claimed her friend had made it up. I had to go to court to fight a charge made by a bit­ter girl from a group home I worked at for three months.

Is it because I’m unhappy? Nope. I love my life. Is it because I have body issues? Not sure of that, either. Is it because I’m crazy? Maybe.

Being suc­cess­ful means over­com­ing what­ever is hold­ing you back.

Live your life open.

Hi, I’m tdhurst. Nice to meet you.

Props to @skinnyjeans.
