In 2018 I was a morbidly obese, heavily depressed, smoking alcoholic.
I initially only started my #weightloss because I was terrified of being found dead at that size.
5 years later and a #cancer diagnosis down, I’m healthier than ever and ready to run my first half marathon.
I have spent the majority of my life waiting around for somebody to come and rescue me from my miserable existence, as if a stranger was going to wave a magic wand and gift me a way out of the misery. Unfortunately, this is not how life works, the self-rescue mission has begun💪
One of the most frustrating things about #anxiety, is that confronting the thing that make you anxious is often the best way to overcome the problem, a true vicious cycle.😂😭🧠 #mentalhealth#mensmentalhealth
My nurses told me that #cancer would drastically change my mindset, such a radical experience becomes a severe eye opener. Welcome this change with open arms. Once you realise how incredibly precious life is, you will develop a much deeper appreciation for the little things.☀️🧠
@MrGrantMcLean It went really well mate! One of the greatest experiences of my life, and I’m very happy with my performance! Going to post on tiktok tomorrow so won’t give too much away haha, but thank you for checking in mate💪🏃♂️☀️
@Chefkev I know mate, I was ashamed of myself last night, flicking back through my photos of the meals I’ve cooked before crying into my fish fingers😂😭.
10km on the cards today🏃♂️💪
What’s one thing you’ve done/are going to do today, that is better than yesterday?
For me it’s cooking a healthy dinner, a lack of preparation last night left me eating fish fingers😂🙃
