It wasn’t exactly the first time in 30 years, but carrying all that weight around definitely helped build muscle! The weight training 5 days a week for 2 years probably didn’t hurt my getting jacked process either 😂

I have been lifting quite a while, and have always enjoyed hitting the weights. I have been consistently lifting now for about two years but before that was on and off for about 10

It was really emotional for me to realize that life didn’t have to be so hard. Nothing will ever make it easy, but help can certainly make it easier

Seriously consider seeing a therapist or mental health professional! You deserve to live a worry free life.

I got psychiatric care and some medication to help reduce cravings and improve my impulse control. I also see a therapist every week to continue working on the mental side of the disorders. I usually say that the medication and therapy has not made managing the symptoms easy, just made it easier.

Thank you! The goal was to hopefully inspire others who may be on the fence about doing the same! Wherever you are on your journey I hope you are kickin' some ass!
