Taken eight months apart. Eight hard put my health first months. Five with prioritizing protein. I only lost twenty pounds for all that work. However, I lost six pant sizes and one shirt size. Don’t focus solely on those scale numbers. Progress is it’s own motivation.

For world obesity day the guy on the right worked out, cold plunged, swam for two hours, took a sauna, ate 250 grams of clean protein in a 7hr window, and then finally forgave the guy on the left for doing the best he could at that time in his life.

I’m a fucking idiot. At least, I have been in certain aspects of my life for a long time. I’ve never felt this good. Eating different. Moving more. Reflecting more. Breathing finally. Sharing feelings. This Fat Guy Figuring it Out stuff is amazing. Get weird. Get healthy.

Yeah I feel this. There is a ten year period where pictures of me were taken reluctantly at family events . For scale my father seated next to me is six foot and stays around 250 pounds. Hard to say but guessing I’m near 550 here. That smile hides a lot of pain. Never again.
I take a lot of selfies, here’s why:
I have almost no pics/videos of when I was 400lbs+. Entire years are missing. Over a 5 year period I have maybe 20 pics/videos.
I know I'm still fat. I know I'm not a bikini model. But anyway, that's why.

I used to quote the movie Gladiator (Marcus Aurelius) to my nephews, “Death smiles at us all, all we can do is smile back.” Then I’d give them back their pacifiers and giggle at their silly smiling faces.

Two years ago I had to lay on my bed, hold my breath, and squirm into these pants then pray the button didn’t pop off. This shirt is a Ralph Lauren 6x which any fat guy can tell you is the end of the line for big and tall sizes. It’s never too late to believe in yourself again.

This past year I’ve gone from a garbage SAD diet, to shameful weekly cheat days, to weekly cheat meals while still prioritizing protein. This is the one thing I’ll never give up. My mother’s homemade bread 2 slices every 4-6 weeks. The secret ingredients, honey and bacon fat.

A big turning point for me. I fell in an icy parking lot at work and couldn’t get up. Now every day I get on the ground and do some form of exercise. I do some stretching, mild yoga, something. I play with the dog. I’ll never take my freedom of mobility for granted again.

Not full carnivore yet, headed that way next month. Currently I buy 7Lbs ground beef or bison, 3Lbs NY Strip, 2 dozen eggs, as my primary nutrition per week. I add in salmon, shrimp, chicken, etc as I crave it. Roughly $100/week, all high quality. A little cheaper in Northern MI.

November 2019. I fell in the icy unplowed parking lot at work again, hurt my knee this time. I was so fat I couldn’t get traction to stand up. Had to crawl 20 yards to my truck, where I still struggled to stand up. I shamefully sat and sobbed at what I had let myself become.
When was that moment you decided to change direction in your life?

Thora is a legit savage. If you didn’t follow her last year now is your chance to remedy that. Whenever I’m procrastinating about a workout I look for one of her videos and minutes later I’m ready to put in some effort.
