I want to share this story with anyone that struggles with any type of mental health issues. This older photo on the right side was a person that was completely addicted to food, and not just any food, ultra processed food. Everything that is bad for you. I knew the consequences of this lifestyle,I actually chose it. I was slowly poisoning myself, and My train was ready to derail. I had all the major symptoms anyone that chose this lifestyle would have. Most likely type ll diabetes, high blood pressure, major depression,anxiety,ADD, If a grizzly bear was chasing me, I couldn’t sprint 10 feet. Anyone that knows me deep inside, knows I’m a fighter, When I get an idea in my head I can’t be stopped. But on the other side, I’m extremely shy, I can have crippling self doubt, and worth. In 2018 I met the woman that would later become my wife, and early into our relationship, she told me that she worried for my health. She would watch me toss and turn not able to sleep because I wasn’t breathing. What next transpired was The insecure part of my brain actually making a decision to turn on the Spartan warrior I have deep inside. My failure of maybe losing my then fiancée, shocked my system, and the next day I stopped all ultra processed food, and learned to eat the proper human diet. I am 5’5” when I started this change I weighed 265 lbs, and was stage lll morbidly obese. After removing all carbs, and ultra processed food, I am off all meds (4 total, 1 I was on for 30 years) I am now still 5’5” and weigh 150 lbs! I lost 115 pounds. I haven’t eaten a carb in over 2 years. I encourage anyone that wants help, or needs to talk, shoot me a dm , I’ll lend an ear, life has to be about helping others. I really believe this. Photo 1. Old me and 52 year old me. I’m back to wearing the same size clothing that I did when I was 15 .Was XXL, now, s/m size. Photo 2. Find a catalyst something or somebody that pushes you. Like the way Micky was there for Rocky. My guy is @davidgoggins I met him back in 2016, and he was a driving force in my mindset. Photo 3. Eat nutrient dense food, simple whole ingredients.
