Hey guys,
Like many of us I'm not new to the weight loss journey...but I'm hoping to enlist some help of friends this time. My firstborn son will be born in a few days..and he is my biggest motivation.
I want to be strong for him. I want to be someone he can be proud of.
Because of my weight issues...I suffer terribly from low self-esteem >.> its awful! All my life i've been the fat kid. And it terrifies me that I don't know how to be the strong male role model that my son needs. I can't give this little guy my baggage. I can't.
Any guys out there want to join this journey with me? Any men who have successfully changed there life feel like being a mentor? I would def appreciate it.

Hi Sam
Wishing you the best of luck for the birth of your son! You have an amazing motivator right there
Naturally you're automatically going to be introduced to a lifestyle change once your baby is born so make sure you go easy on yourself with the weight loss process. You can 100% do this and succeed and feel incredible for it but remember to allow yourself a little of what you like every now and again - moderation is key but this does need to be sustainable.
