Yeah, it's true. Thinking back to how I was, i feel so embarrassed that I know I'd never want to be like that again. I'm not perfect by any means, but I'm getting there, and I'm at a point where I feel semi-comfortable

Yeah exactly, and it does take a long time for you to get to a point where you stop being miserable about your weight and start being motivated into doing something about it. If you've spent your teenage years being miserable about it, it makes sense that becoming a young adult, a time of independence, is when you decide to do something about it. The same can't be said for when you're a young adult and you become fat, because suddenly life gets in the way and you don't have the time to go the gym that you had while you were 18-22. So many folk get sucked into a cycle of working all week, going to the pub at the weekend and then waking up aged 30 something and being appalled at their beer bellies, wine waists, fast food guts and wondering what happened. If that's all you've known as a kid, you reach the point where you want to do something about it long before those people do.
