There Is No RIGHT TIME To Start - Only Now

Working out is not easy - there's always something else you'd rather be doing. There's never an ideal time to start making fitness a priority. You just reach a point where you no longer are happy in the skin you are in, where you no longer want to go through life faking a smile so the world will think you're alright. I couldn't see myself living with who I had let myself become any longer.
I walked away from music and made a promise that I would never pursue music again until I could fix what was broken within me. 5 years ago I began on this journey, a journey I had TRIED and failed at miserably so many times, except this time failure was not an option. This time it was for real, this time I was doing it for me.
In the course of 5 years I lost 140lbs and underwent surgery this February to address the excess skin on my chest area as a result of the weight loss. I'm not done yet. There is still one more surgery to address the excess skin on my abdomen. There have been easy days and difficult days. There have been moments of complete depression and there have been times where I had to relearn to love my body in its current state of this process.
These photos are 5years apart (May 3rd, 2013 vs TODAY May 11, 2018). Working out is not easy, but living with who I had become was NOT an option anymore. If I made the change - you can too.
