From 500lbs and suicidal to walking every day. To walking a marathon in the pouring rain. To working out every day. I’m the furthest thing from Insta Famous. I’m just a guy who wants to better himself every day by 1% 😌 I’m a guy who saved his own life 😌 Even when he felt he didn’t have much of a life to save.

Even when he felt he had nothing much of interest to say and wasn’t worthwhile to anyone.

And I’m forever grateful for that 😌

Sure, I have my heroes in life. But be your own hero.

The difference 3 and a half years can make. ☺️ You don’t have to strive for perfection. You don’t have to be ripped or shredded. You just have to show up day by day and make a difference in your life. Granted, I’m now in the phase of body recomp as I’m focusing more and more on taking that 27% body fat and getting down to 18% with some muscle and tone. But even at this point in my life…there’s no denying anymore that it’s a MAJOR difference.

And it came from simple changes to habit. Even the smallest of changes can add up over time. Change your habits. Change your diet gradually. Get more active day by day. Change your mindset. Change it all. One step at a time.

Fuck it! I enrolled for the Adult Jazz course 😊 For years, I’ve always wanted to learn how to dance but was TERRIFIED to pull the trigger. I grew up being told that men don’t express how they feel.

“Be a man!

Men don’t cry at funerals.
Men don’t dance. That’s for women.”

I grew up with a very warped view of my own body. Being overweight, nobody wants to see me on the dance floor

(Sigh) I grew up with a LOT of self hatred. But I’ve always wanted to learn how to dance. It’s something I’ve always wanted to try. And after losing this weight? Why not. Gotta get out of my comfort zone right. 😊 by @danloses300lbs

TRANSFORMATION TUESDAY

I wish I could go back to that man standing in the garage at 500 lbs.

He couldn’t see the finish line. He couldn’t imagine losing over 270 lbs. He had no idea what he was capable of.

But here’s what I’ve learned throughout my weight loss journey…

You don’t have to believe in the person you’ll become. You just have to stop giving up on the person you are.

That man in the garage wasn’t weak. He wasn’t a failure. He was someone who deserved a second chance.

And every single day, I’m grateful he kept going.

If you’re struggling with obesity, self-confidence, or starting your own weight loss transformation, remember this:

Your current chapter doesn’t have to be your final chapter. ❤️

What’s one thing you’d tell your former self?

What I was rocking out to at 500lbs 🤣 I forgot I had this video - and yes I still adore @systemofadown ☺️🤘

But yeah I forgot I had this. I did this for @torriewilson back in the day to make her laugh - but was mortified at the thought of posting it for the internet to see ☺️🤣 oh well, screw it. That was me rocking out at 500lbs ☺️

I was once mortified by the thought of sharing these because I had a ton of shame and self hatred and couldn’t bare the thought of people seeing me act a fool. But fuck it ☺️ I’m just gonna post it for people to see

Because I don’t want to hold onto the shame anymore.

I was 500lbs
I’m human.
I made mistakes.
And I shouldn’t keep punishing myself for it anymore

I can’t dance for shit 🤣 but it doesn’t stop me from trying

Point being. Even on the gloomiest of days. Don’t let something stop you from trying

Be excellent to each other on this #worldmentalhealthday

Mental health matters. Don’t let that inner voice limit you

I’ve lost over 250lbs trying to escape the person I hated the most. But the reality? Just like you can’t out run a bad diet, you can’t escape yourself. It’s taken me a long time to get to the point of realising that for better or worse I am me. And that no matter how much weight I lose, that guy is always going to be there with me.

Can’t escape him. Doesn’t work. So I choose forgiveness instead. Because self hate is just exhausting and I don’t want to live that way anymore

I started my weight loss journey at 500 lbs.

Sometimes I look back at that version of myself and wonder how I ever made it this far.

At 500 pounds, I felt trapped. My health was suffering, my confidence was gone, and changing my life felt almost impossible.

But my 300+ lb weight loss transformation didn’t begin with some perfect diet or workout plan.

It began with one decision:

I wasn’t giving up on myself.

One walk became another.
One healthier choice became another.
One day became another.

And slowly, my life started changing.

I’m still on my weight loss and fitness journey today. I still have goals to reach. But now when I see my old 500-lb self, I don’t feel ashamed of him.

I’m grateful for him.

Because he kept going long enough for me to become the man I am today.

If I could tell him one thing, it would be:

“You have no idea how much life is waiting for you. Thank you for not giving up on me.” ❤️

If you’re starting your own weight loss journey and feel like you have too far to go, start anyway.

Your future self is waiting.
