MY OFFICIAL BEFORE PICTURE
So as a fatty you have a decision to make when committing to losing weight and getting your life back. “What is it?“, you ask……..When you’re a fatty crossing over the line of normal life to an aggressive lifestyle you get a little moxy in you to stake a flag in the ground and find an ”OFFICIAL BEFORE PICTURE” of what you are about to leave behind.
A normal fat guy posing for a picture normally thinks of trying to get the most slimming, best looking picture of himself taken. But not so with this photo. On the contrary for an “OFFICIAL BEFORE PICTURE“ he trIes to brick it as hard as possible and be as fat and tacky as possible so when he does his reveal it can be the most dramatic difference possible. Purely for dramatic effect.
But how do you do that without getting depressed over how fat you are? You get a sense of humor and realize moving forward means as soon as you take that photo you are moving forward in health from it. You realize the only thing to be depressed over is if you stay there. You allow it to be motivation that you hang on the wall. A reminder of what you are running from and running towards. So you don’t forget.
I started searching through my own collection of photos to see if there was a photo worthy enough of the title ”The Official Before Picture“. I searched high and low and frustratingly couldn’t find a picture that would work. And then the girlfriend snapped it one day on the way out. I had decided to rock it as tacky as possible that day which explains the outfit…but what explains the tacky? I don’t know. I think I pulled it off…what do you think?
So without further ado I present to you my OFFICIAL BEFORE PICTURE.

Yikes & LOL… Yep I think you got the “tacky” covered. You are oh so much braver than I! Seriously, you are a great looking man now (well uhhhh normally… lol). But how awesome it will be when are not only amazing looking at your weight & health/fitness goals met,but also feeling so comfortable in your own skin. That’s a feeling words can’t truly do justice to. Congrats for continuing to stay focused & walk out this challenging but attainable journey! Whether you realize it or not you are helping me to stay on my path too!
Thanks & Love you!~Mom
