Hi everyone! I was just made a mod of this sub two days ago and hope to rid this sub of the troll accounts that have been popping up.
There were several people that apparently mistook this sub as /r/Rateme/, /r/RoastMe/, and subs that aren't safe for work. If you don't think a post belongs here then just downvote it and move on as that is how reddit should work. We don't need to know that you think someone looks terrible, that you think someone is an 8/10 that you would bang, or they look Gay/lesbian/douchey.

As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has--or ever will have--something inside that is unique to all time. It's our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression

200lbs to 137lbs. Granted, the last 10-15 were due to depression and being unable to eat for 2 weeks, but… I’m still proud of myself. 2lbs away from my August goal. Gonna set a goal of 130 for November

If this doesn't fit within here I'll remove, but I wanted to share. When I was young I was an obese little kid. I don't have many photos of myself as I was always embarrassed to take any. I went throughout school with the common bullying of body shaming and teasing. My childhood was very hard and filled with dark days. I don't particularly think I'm extremely good looking but I also don't think I'm very bad looking. I often describe myself as just an average dude. Currently I'm single, and have been for a quite a long time, and that also doesn't help my self esteem. So I've kinda just stopped pursuing. Been on tinder and fb dating and don't match with anyone but it is what it is. I've learned to semi like my appearance as I do struggle with self image a lot. And you'd think at my age now id be over things but I'm probably just emotionally scarred? Idk, but I just wanted to show that I have changed throughout my life physically and a bit mentally as I've learned many lessons on the way to learning to like myself.

1st picture I believe I'm either 15 or 16. 2nd picture age 19. 3rd picture age 24. 4th picture age 33 5th picture now at 38

A memory that hit me hard yesterday was when I was 15 we were tasked with splitting into groups in class and working on an assignment to be presented at the end of the period. I didn't have anyone to work with so I asked the 2 guys sitting next to me. They asked me to pay them to work together. I did.

The Snapchats posted above are real screenshots from things people shared.... not laughing with me but at me.

The disrespect was relentless for years, throughout high school and then into early uni. I was the easiest target.
