We all have a story 📖 I just share mines in hope to inspire others, because I know what it feels like to be smiling on the outside but dying on the inside... So to those that are new here, here’s my story! I’ve been Big Terry my whole life. It’s all I ever known, it was who I was. I embodied it and I was happy being the funny fat guy because I was confident in who I was...or at least I thought I was! That was until 2019 shortly after my son little Terry was born. I was out at lunch with my bro Gavin and he looked at me as I was eating and just randomly said “I don’t want you to die.” He followed up that statement up with “but, I want to help you.” I’ll never forget those words or that moment because I never thought that carrying so much weight could cause me to die. I never related my weight to not living long. It was an eye opener, but I knew in that moment I needed to make a change because I had a whole family that depended on me and needed me. I wanted to live! So the next day rather than going to lunch we started working out every day Monday through Friday that entire summer. That was the beginning of my journey. That’s what got me started, hearing those words changed my life! There’s no weightloss cheat code and I know because I’ve been able to lose 200lbs and keep it off the last four years. How? Many things... Changing my mindset, Prayer, Meal prepping, Working out, drinking my water, and VSG are all tools that have helped me on my journey to a healthier me! Hopefully sharing my transformation will continue to inspire the world! If it’s inspired you, don’t be a stranger... Do me a favor and hit that 🖤 and drop a comment to show some love!
