Thanks everybody for the outpouring of support! And for those of you that are on a similar path, keep going, you got this!!
Things I've noticed have been no more joint pain even after a heavy session at the gym. Inflammation is gone, brain fog is gone. I do find myself constantly adjusting the seat in my truck to find a new and comfortable position. I do feel as if I have body dysmorphia issues. Although I've heard it takes a bit for your brain to catch up and register the drastic changes. That part is weird. But I still have a ways to go yet. -
Looking healthy, switch from the telehealth company save the money.
@keshave786 I like the access I have with my nutritionist and doc. At some point I will and will make the switch over to Reta.

I think that many of us - I will boldly assert most of us (not you, narcissists!) - have some degree of body dysmorphia, imposter syndrome, or just generally that voice in our head telling us we are a …. But I digress.
Throughout my life, no matter how fit I have been, I have thought I look fat, no matter how well everything was going, I thought I was a failure. I once had a convo with my best friend from childhood, as we sat in his 27th floor office, about how we often felt like our Dads were going to walk in and tell us play time was over and they needed to get back to work.
At that time, he was managing 50+ people and I was flying to London to launch hedge funds. (Which did not, in fact, make me fabulously wealthy.)Studies show that over 90% of successful people have imposter syndrome. I think some degree of these hobgoblins is healthy, as it can motivate you to improve yourself. But some people indulge it, or it gets out of control, and that is when bad things can happen. Also, people in the throes of these afflictions simply refuse to believe that other people also have it, and that they are not alone.
And yes, this is another rabbit hole I spend probably way too much of my time focusing on.
Anyway, you’re doing great! Keep up the good work. Have a Ho-Ho or an Oreo once in a while.
In closing: (Randy Savage voice) Get after those gains, Brother!
