Two years ago I was 250lbs and off work for fatigue issues. It was then I decided "That's enough" and I wasn't going to live like this anymore. While I lost most of the weight early on with some radical diet changes (no pop chief amoung them) the rest of the way to today has been hard work, early mornings at the gym and saying no to food I really really wanted. Today is the first time in my adult life I'm below 190 (just barely) and I wanted to share that with all my friends and family.
I still have a lot to do, with marriage and plans for kids on the way I want to make sure I can be there for them the same way my mom and dad were there for me. I also want to be able to take care of my parents and return the favor.
Though this I've learned it's never too late to say "That's enough." It's never too late to start over and change your goals from short-term satisfaction to long-term joy. Without getting too preachy think about that as you celebrate this with me. Think about what in your life it's time to say "That's enough!" to.
Don't expect any vanity pictures of the "new bod." I'm not that confident in how I look and don't think I ever will be. Maybe that's for the best, the internet is a strange place.
Finally of course thanks to my parents for instilling values in me to help on this journey, even if it took 36 years for them to sink in. Thanks to my future bride for support me by cheering on my days at the gym and encouraging and working around my current Keto phase.
Remember everyone better days are ahead, God bless!
