In the before picture, I was knocking on the door of 400 pounds. Today, I weigh 289 pounds, just 19 pounds away from my goal weight.

After I got out of the Marine Corps, depression hit hard. Felt like I lost my identity, my routine, my structure. Outside noises became louder and the only sanity I had was the gym and food, with food being the toxic relationship vice. Masking my emotional and mental struggles with comfort food. Somewhere along the way, taking care of my health stopped being a priority. Instead, I focused on becoming one of the strongest people in the world, no matter the cost, while battling myself mentally.

I kept lifting. I kept getting stronger. But I could move heavy weight and still struggle to take care of myself. I started worrying about what that was costing me and how much time I might be giving up.

Posting this makes me uncomfortable, but I want to be honest about where I’ve been while being able to help others who might be still fighting for their life in the before picture like I was. The man in the before picture was going through things you couldn’t see. I’m learning to give that version of myself some grace while taking responsibility for what comes next.

I’m still working on it. I still have hard days. But I’m making serious progress, and I’m proud of that. I want more years with my family, more life outside the gym, and a healthier future to go with the strength I’ve worked so hard for. I just want to learn to love myself the way I needed to love myself in the past. 

Brick by brick. 💪🏾

230+ to 191

It definitely wasn’t easy. There were days I didn’t feel like working out, days the scale went back up, days I was tired, frustrated and felt like I wasn’t making progress.

But I kept going.

I started taking my health more seriously, paying attention to what I ate, staying consistent with my runs, lifting and pushing myself even on the days I didn’t feel motivated.

I’m not finished, but I’m proud of how far I’ve come. This is proof that you don’t have to be perfect you just have to stop quitting on yourself.

A few people have been asking me to show them how | What do y’all want to see more of: the workouts, meals, running or the full journey?
