We are same height, not the same weight. For what is worth , not obese are also not happy with how their body looks. Frankly, I think I stopped worrying what others think of how I look. It's the same as what others think of what I think. They can have their opinion, but it's me who's living my life, not them. And why would I want to care what they think about it?
Health, quality of life and its length is what counts though. What you described was partly unknown to me. I wish you could improve that for yourself, feel that joy of accomplishment.
Ps: I also often catch myself daydreaming about shooting threes or twos. But I only see the shape of my arm, that hand motion which makes the ball spin after releasing it.. it's beautiful. Probably, I'm just getting older reminiscing the young days...
