From Fat Man to Ultra Man.
I bumped into my photographer friend Lee down at the beach today. The first time his camera shutter clicked was December 26th, 2022.
Between those two photos lies a 40-month journey-and a 140-pound (10 stone) difference.
But here’s what they don’t tell you about losing that much weight:
• The mental shift is jarring: Your presence and self-worth completely change, yet somehow, you still see your old self in the mirror. Ironically, I feel more self-conscious about my body now than I did before.
• Your circle evolves: Your friendship groups change. You naturally start surrounding yourself with people who align with your vision, goals, and drive.
• It becomes a passion: You want to pay it forward. You find yourself constantly talking about running, fitness, and the gym because you just want to help others experience the breakthrough.
I don’t post this to show off. I post this to remind anyone who needs to hear it: you can chase your dreams, and you can do hard things. #weightloss #fitness #motivation #fitnessmotivation
