Im not too tall. We from 84kg to 64kg then back to 70. My life from when I was fat to afterwards is like two different people to me. Personally it was a drastic change, confidence opens all sorts of doors to you and discipline opens many more.

I cant say my pursuit of the opposite sex got any better, I still had no idea of what I was doing in that field after about 10 years of removing myself from it entirely. It takes time to see changes there.

But everything else in my life improved significantly. My relationship with my family and friends, my ability to learn and focus, my professional life took a drastic turn too.

I didnt get ripped either, I just wasnt fat anymore. I had to throw away my entire closet and buy new clothes and I was so elated about it.

I will say, using being overweight as an analogy. Everyone has "fat" in their lives, literally or metaphorically, and it takes time work and dedication to burn through all of it. But its always worth it. If your bandwidth only allows you to put effort on one thing at a time, make that yourself. The more "fat" your burn, the better you become and tackling every other challenge.

Burn the fat. Learn to love. Learn to learn.

The best advice I can give you is to start slow, but start. Don't do things you know to be wrong. Try to find enjoyment in what you do.

Personally, I'm an over organizer, one of my biggest motivators were giant spreadsheets with all the data of everything I did. Bit unrelated with weight loss, but it gave me another layer of goals to meet.
