5 years ago today my best friend dropped me off at Ronald Reagan Hospital. I was 435 lbs, struggling with addiction, and eating myself to death. After coming home from Iraq, I tried to numb the pain with pills, alcohol, and food. I was lost, scared, and slowly dying.
That day, I made a choice: enough was enough. I took my life back.
Since then, I’ve lost over 200 lbs, graduated from UCLA School of Law, passed the California Bar, and transformed not just my body, but my mind and spirit. I’ve watched people come and go, but one constant has been fitness and the unwavering support of the gym community.
To everyone who’s shown love and support along the way: thank you.
If you think this journey has been something, just wait for 2025. Baby, we’re just getting started!
