I Used To Hide Away - But Then I Lost 286lbs | BRAND NEW ME

AFTER years of bullying about his weight, Michael Sebti, 24, from Meximieux, France, wanted to hide himself away from the world. At his heaviest, Michael weighed 445lbs. He told Truly: “My goal was to hide myself from people because when they used to see myself, they would criticize me, bully me, laugh at me, so my goal was to be… To hide myself from them.” However, Michael found the determination to change his lifestyle and through following a strict diet and doing home workouts, Michael managed to lose an incredible 286lbs over the course of two years. Michael said: “As I am a proud person I will say I was able to gain that weight alone so I will be able to lose that weight alone and I will do everything alone.” Michael has since realised that his diet became too restrictive and has adapted to a more balanced diet. For Michael, the hardest part of his journey was his loose skin and he consequently had three surgeries to remove it. Today he will be revealing the results to his friend Romain. Michael, a self-confessed perfectionist, is happy with his body image now but still feels there is room for improvement and now has his eyes set on another goal: bodybuilding. His advice for anyone wanting to lose weight? Michael said: “Just believe in yourself, don't let anybody put yourself down. And each time people who will criticize you, who will put you down, use them as a fuel, as a fuel for your workout, as a fuel for your goal.”
