Congratz on you changing your life!
I salute you for changing your avatar at 10k.
I doubt you reccognice me but I think you were one of the few that the avatar was actually like, how the hell to put this, a part of you?? That sounds just fucked -.-
I hope you succeed in everything you are trying to do (diets, work, working-out etc) and just a hint, don't start too hard, take it slow and work yourself upwards
As for me, I've pretty much always done sports and gone to school or had short term jobs so nothing really life changing for me xcept getting into the Police College of Finland 2 months ago and now really enjoying it. So it's the first time I am really living away from home and studying at college level but I'm just 21 so no stress
Good luck for the future!!!
