Great post @exyle from 2012 to 2014 you look much smarter in 2014 pic and don't be afraid of your belly as you mentioned in your previous post that you decided to reduce the belly and thats not impossible every thing is possible in this world you just need to stay focused and concentrate i am sure you start getting good results soon.

Its a great story i also used to smoke 30 to 40 cigarettes daily i quit 1 year back it feels great.

A very good article about confidence! A real lesson of life!

Cheers Mate!

I guess you must think that what you have is what others crave so you should cherish your current state, be confident and be happy with what you have. I'm glad to see you could change for the better and stop smoking cigarettes and turn your health around for the better. Great Job bud and it seems like that mentality lives on today with Steemfat.

You looked good back then and you still look good now. You are just following the same path of your father and many others as they grow old and start to form that belly haha

However, it seems like you are planning to take a detour and form your own path. A path which you are happy with and which you strive towards with your new found confidence and glee.

Keep up the great work @exyle :)
I can't wait for part 2!

I loved reading your story. I too am an introvert but I'm really good at faking being extroverted. My job requires that of me. Physical fitness is a great way to gain confidence! Also, way to go on the quitting smoking! What helps me with my need to be alone is realizing that it's ok to want to have time to myself, it's how in "recharge ". Look forward to following your story!

Very nice article I think a lot of people are very similar to you in this way and actually you are lucky you had your wake up moment at 27 many people are much older and some don't ever realize how great life can be if you have the confidence to just enjoy it

Thanks for sharing your Experiences with us it might help at some point of our life

What a fantastic blog you made! I knew all this of course, but it's good to write it down. Memory lane helps to set your goals even better. Great choice of pictures!

Yeah if you are missing confidence then your are missing everything. So, we must build our confidence first

Great inspiration sir.  Now I see you and I see someone with lots of confidence and skills. Way back you're more handsome and good looking and you still are by the way :) You said it right when we were having a chat that you were in super shape and know very well what to eat and what not, to get that back again. So, I wish you all the health and luck :)
Actually If you dont mind, I have written something about you and my favorite supporters on steemit. So, I'd  like to have your opinion on that.

amazing evolution , Keep up , well done !

Great post 😉

Great post. Healthy lifestyle change our attitude towards life. Thanks for sharing such an amazing fact. Good health to you.

You are right. Stopping smoking is shit!!

What a difference man.  I could say the same to younger me. Ah the things we could tell ourselves. It's funny how it all comes from inside isnt it?

Thanks all youngsters need to learn from this post

Uau, thanks for sharing.  I'm still figuring out how to break cycle self esteem wise. I feel all eyes are on me and waiting for me to fail. Thanks for your input :)

IS A LONG TIME WITHOUT US BEING AWARE AND ONLY REALLY AS SOY ..@exyle

BUT HERE I WANT TO SAY, YOU HAVE MADE INTERESTING POSTINGAN .. AND ACCORDING TO YOU HAVE A GREAT LITTLE PERIOD ... 

Go to school (and then work), play video games and do not get out

I do not feel unhappy or anything but I feel (now) that I am passing a valuable time

Great story brother and incredibly inspiring.  I agree that all things begin with belief in yourself.  When we focus our mind, body and soul to a thing the universe parts like the Red Sea and bends to our will.  I think it was Shaw that said, "People who say something can't be done need to get out of the way of the people doing it".   Great post man!!

We all said the past is the past.  But by looking back help us shape or dictate our present and most likely our future. 
Keep on steemit @exyle

Very inspiring indeed @exyle!!

Throughout our lives, we make so many decisions and every decision we make changes the path our life is taking. It also shapes who we are as individuals.

You made a decision to change your lifestyle in your 20s and stuck with it, leading to the best possible result, congrats!!

Great inspiration and great post. Goes to show when you want to do something in life, you can when you set your mind to it. Thanks for sharing, have a great day🌞

You definitely look way more confident now. Congrats on being able to quit smoking cold turkey or immediately. I'm looking forward to reading part 2.

nice story, can't wait for the next chapter, cheers

Wow! That is great! One needs to believe in himself and the ability to carry out positive things lies in the conviction of the individual. There is no limit to what we can achieve if we BELIEVE!
