I respect the hell out of what you have accomplished. Good job! I have been a lifter for 20 years and this is what I really look like in my early 40s

I broke my LARP just for you out of respect. Make weight lifting your new focus and get JACKED. It will change everything about you both mentally and physically. You will look back on it as the best decision you ever made.

Honestly, the point of fuel that I used to start my weight loss journey came internally from a desire to show the people around me that I could be known as something other than "that fat guy." I'm training with a friend of mine regularly who used to be a soccer coach. This quarantine has been an amazing time for me, physically, because it forced me to divert myself back towards heading towards my goals. Most others would not see it that way, but every failure contains the seed to success if you realize that you are the one who needed to learn the lesson the hard way. I look back at myself from nearly a decade ago and I can't even remember who I was or what I was doing for a purpose. Now, I've inspired a lot of people around me to lose weight, and I even managed to get some family to stop eating certain junk foods. That's really how the true irony of every situation works out: the people who mocked you for failure one day will be the ones delivering your highest praise when you show them drive and accomplishment.

I'm telling you the next step of your evolution is to pack on some serious muscle because it will change you in ways you never imagined. A man walking around with a strong physique is a better feeling than any drug will give you. Keep up the good work! Keep trying to motivate others. You should periodically make posts about your journey because it might help inspire a few people. Make sure you tell them how it changed you both physically and mentally because those are both important aspects of the journey.
