    You look awesome. Thank you for sharing.

    I will show this to a dear friend of mine who is obese and has said a million times he needs to diet or lose weight or change his eating habits. Go on this diet or that diet, Become a vegetation. I have heard it all. It has never happened.

    I have known him most all of my adult life. He has had diabetes probably most of his life but refused to go to the doctor. He finally had to go a couple of years back because of an illness and of course his sugar was sky high and he was put on medication.
    In addition to this, his eyesight has gotten blurry and he now has to go to an eye doctor and get some sort of shot in his eye ( shudder). His ankles and knees hurt constantly.
    I spent some time with him not too long ago and cooked healthy food while I was there but found fast food bags in his truck, he said he was addicted to fast food.
    Maybe your post will help. I remember when we were young, he was overweight but he was lifting weights and enjoyed it, and he still has a weight bench, so maybe this hits home for him. Sorry for the ramble but I care about my friend deeply and I don't want to lose him.

    Please show him!! I was in a similar boat. It's rough, but not impossible. I'm proof of that. Instead of being addicted to food, I became addicted to progress. Addicted to seeing if any more changes happened to my body. It's always exciting. Feel free to add me and/or msg me if you need any help!

    So inspiring! I'm just getting started on my journey and seeing that this much of a transformation is possible if I just stuck with it really motivates me to stick with my exercise. Thanks for sharing!
