GROWING UP OBESE

HOW I LOST 200 POUNDS - My Story PT.1

Growing Up Obese

This is the first video that I have made for my series HOW I LOST 200 POUNDS  My name is Mikey Pennington and if you can't tell by now I have lost 200 pounds lol. When I started losing weight back in 2016 I always dreamed of making an epic transformation video where I have an uplifting speech motivating the globe and epic music in the background while I reflect on an imense journey! Maybe I was getting to far ahead of myself because at the time I was still obese and fresh on my adventure to lose weight. My dreams came true and should I say it again? I have lost.... You get the picture by now right?  

I always felt overwhelemed that I wouldn't get everything out right when I would eventually tell the tale to the world. Im kind of a perfectionist at times and I wanted the video to be so perfect that I never even attempted to try because it was so overwhelming! I love details and I didn't want to miss a single moment especially if it was something crucial. On social media I never shared much about losing weight and people just saw me shrinking with every new picture or video I would post. In person if someone asked me.. which happens quite often, then I usually try to make a long story short but for me that is hard because I could talk about it all day!

Telling my story in a series rather than one single video gives me time to think about each section so I have less chance of missing information. I can make more less perfect videos and if I leave something out I can just make another video about it to add to the story! even after making this one I thought of many more stories that I could have brought up but you know what? I can just mention them in more videos!!

 In this video I go over what is was like for me growing up obese sharing stories from my past.
