Throwback to my 21st bday... Drunk at a Greek tavern, drinking straight scotch & dancing with my 2 best friends Michael @m_elef & Dimitri @d.i.m.i. I met them when I was 15 & they are still 2 of my closest friends. At 21 I was overweight, weighing in at 150kg. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, I felt lost. I lacked direction and motivation like many young adults. Some days I'd be happy but others demotivated and anxious. After seeing this video the first time I realised I needed to make a permanent change to be happy & focused all the time. I joined a boxing gym, changed my eating habits & started applying for jobs and courses outside my comfort zone. In 14 months I dropped 61kg, was studying business management & in was in the process of opening my own cafe. It was hard work & long hours but anything is possible when you believe in yourself. It also helps when you have a couple of good friends to support you & give you a hug when you're drunk. #twentyfirst #fatmikey #stayhumble
