Negative emotions

I was once a fat guy. Someone who had very low self-confidence and self-esteem. I did not like how I look and how I behaved at times. Most of all, I can be easily bothered by what others think of me. I hated myself. I just needed a change so badly.I just needed to gain my self-esteem back. Therefore, set out to change. With myself as the only motivation and the goal in mind I worked hard dieting and exercising. It was hell as I needed discipline to continue on even when I was tired and all to keep on with my progress. Soon, I regained my figure and my confidence back. This enables to do a lot of things in my life. Things that i would not even think of when I am fat. This taught me a very important lesson in life. It is that is to believe in yourself and have confidence in oneself; for what u think of yourself is the only thing that matters.
