Lost 80 Pounds After Divorce - Unrecognizable to Old Friends

2w ago1 min read

Haven't posted in a while but wanted to come back and share this. Got divorced about 18 months ago and honestly it was a wake up call. I was 265 pounds, miserable, and just going through the motions. Decided to change everything. Started running, cut out the drinking, actually meal prep now which is insane because old me would never. Down to 185 and I feel like a different person. Ran into an old coworker last week and he didn't even recognize me at first. Lost the weight but also lost the anger and bitterness that was eating me alive. Gained my health back and honestly my confidence too. It's been a journey.

That's incredible man, seriously impressive work. Going through a divorce is rough but the fact that you came out the other side healthier is what matters. Your kids are going to see that strength and resilience.

That's awesome man, congrats on the transformation. Sometimes life throws you a curveball and you either catch it or strike out. Sounds like you caught it and made something better out of it.

80 pounds is incredible. As someone juggling three boys and their chaos, I respect anyone who finds the discipline to make that kind of change. You should be proud of yourself.

Welcome back man and congrats on the whole journey. That's the kind of stuff that shows your kids what perseverance actually looks like when things get hard.

80 pounds is no joke. That's the kind of transformation that takes real commitment. I'm guessing you're feeling a lot different not just physically but mentally too.
