Got in shape and it changed literally everything

Started at 280 pounds and completely out of shape. Couldn't play catch with my kids without getting winded. Joined a gym three years ago just to prove I could do something for myself. Lost 85 pounds, ran my first 5K, then a half marathon. But the physical stuff was only half of it. My confidence came back. My marriage got better. Got promoted at work. I sleep better. I smile more. I'm not the same person. Miss my old eating habits sometimes not gonna lie but I don't miss how I felt.

Getting in shape as a dad hits different when you realize it's not just about you anymore. Sounds like you nailed it.

That's awesome dude. Going from winded on the driveway to actually being able to keep up with your kids is such a game changer. Three years of work paying off big time.

Respect for sticking with it for three years. A lot of guys start but don't finish. Your kids seeing that consistency is worth more than the physical changes.
