Seven Years ago Sunday, I hit what I thought was rock bottom. I was morbidly obese at almost 450 pounds. I struggled with depression and felt like a failure and a hypocrite. Not even my closest friends and family knew the struggles I was enduring and covering up with a food addiction. I had a moment that resulted in a desire to change and to live my best life. It started with two realizations: - 1) I deserved a better life. 2) I had the power to get that better life. - I started with small changes: no white flour, no sugar, zero processed foods. The pounds started to come off and as I learned more about myself, nutrition and fat loss, I adopted the #paleo diet. After one year, I was down 200 pounds and eventually shed obesity and built that better life. - The journey didn’t end the day I hit my goal weight, that was just the first act. Losing my weight wasn’t the only or even the last goal, it was one on a path to self mastery and true joy. It eliminated so many limitations and proved to myself that nothing would hold me down or back anymore. If you struggle with obesity, you can do this too. Live your best life. Don’t be overwhelmed. Start with one pound and then go for another. You’ve got this. - - - - - - - #Tiniertim#paleo#workout#weightloss#gym#diet#wod#fitocracy#weightlifting#squat#igers#instagood#fitspo#motivation#inspiration#SkinTight#looseskin#whole30#obesity#realitytv#plasticsurgery#transformationtuesday#dad#obesity#love#confidence (at Los Angeles, California) -- source link
