#2yearchallenge I don't normally share photos of myself. Why? Simply because I didn't like who I saw in the mirror, physically, spiritually or mentally. Just 2 years ago, we fell into this new way of life and many people decided to do nothing. After my time at Saveawarrior.org (@save_a_warrior_saw ) I decided to change what I saw in the mirror to match the new internal me that was emerging. Mental health effects you physically. Don't believe me? Look at me. I was a mess two years ago, but I found the mental fortitude to change everything, thanks to Saveawarrior.org. I once was negative, angry, suicidal, and hated who I saw in the mirror and weighed 247 pounds. With size 42 pants. I now am more patient, less angry, more positive, enjoy a better mental space and love who I see in the mirror (internally and physically). I weighed in at 187 pounds today and fit loosely in size 33 pants. I made a choice. I stuck to that choice of eating healthy. No diet, just choosing more veggies and fruit, and controlled proportions. I lost 60lbs the healthy way. I was 10lbs lighter recently but that was from dehydration and sickness. Gained it back and feel amazing. If you are a veteran or first responder struggling, ask me about how I found the answers you are looking for or visit Saveawarrior.org.
