#MotivationMonday

Today represents a year since my journey started, I had to go with these photos, which represent the first day, and the most recent day, with a couple of others showing the journey as it has progressed.

This time last year I was setting out on a journey, thinking I could do it, and thinking that all it would take was watching what I eat and training hard. Little did I know that as I shrunk physically as the year progressed, I grew more as a person than I ever thought possible. t5pdkau2v7qr.jpg

I'm now 175lbs (12.5 stone), or 79.5kg down from where I was a year ago, and while I've literally lost a person, I'm a better person than I've ever been in my life, and I have finally learned to love myself. As cheesy and corny as that sounds, I really don't care. I've never been as comfortable with myself, and have no more time for your typical self-deprecation that blights so many in this country.

This next year is already the focus of a healthy (pun very much intended) list of challenges and goals, and I'm massively excited to see where this next phase of my journey takes me.

Here's to a happy, healthy, and awesome 2017 folks!

    Words can't describe how happy you look!
    And it's not corny to say you are a better person!

    Your smile and eyes say it all - that is true transformation. (insert clapping hands and very cheerful emojis) :) So happy for you and the hard work you are putting in yourself. It is certainly paying off, you look fantastic! Awesome progress pics too btw

    I love the progression of the smile! The first row of pics your face is very somber and the smile just keeps growing as you progress :

    Holy flaming fucktardoballs! You do not look like the same person (though the progress photos prove you are).
    Well done!
