My life has taken a lot of twists and turns over the past few years. I'm 41 years old. Recently divorced. Trying to get my life back on track. Part of that process has been getting back in shape.

I'm very self-conscious about my body. I've never liked the way I look. I'm not saying that in order to garner any sympathy or because I'm fishing for compliments. I say this because it takes a lot of courage for me to post this simple picture. To be sure, I've slimmed down quite a bit. I've lost a lot of body fat while at the same time gaining a lot of muscle. There's still a lot of room for improvement and I welcome any comments, even critical comments. I'm a big boy, so I can take whatever you've got coming to me. Anyway, here's the picture:

Over the years I've developed a very negative perspective on my body. I'm short, being only 5'7. I think I have too much body hair. My penis is too small. I can't seem to lose the belly fat. I need to build even more muscle. It's like I can't see the progress I've made. Like seriously...I can't. Does anyone else feel like that?
 
Congratulations on the transformation and the change for a healthier future! Shedding belly fat is hella difficult for anyone and everyone! (Why don't you think there are so many ads for quick fixes?) It is a struggle for everyone.


Good luck and welcome to Lit
