Hey all, I've been reading here for a while so I decided to introduce myself!
So my journey started one day after accidentally catching my whale like body in the mirror.
I had always been in great shape, competiting in different martial arts events throughout my childhood and then I did 7 years in the military where I competed for the military in different sports.
Anyway fast forward to this year, I was due to get married to the girl I loved (and well probably still do), she lives in the USA but was due to marry me and then come to the UK. Sometimes the distance made things strained and a little difficult and I didn't always help the situation. I was a high flying stockbroker and then lost my job and returned back to IT where I did another stressful job and whilst I'm a good guy like most I can be difficult at times. I don't blame anything on her as I recognise my responsibilty in all of this.
Then one day just before the point where I was due to go to the US again and marry her I wake up to an email saying it's over and I can honestly say I've never been so low.
Anyway fast forwarding a bit I fell into a fairly deep depression and just took to eating fast food and drinking whiskey every night. I'd function and smile during the day and sob like a girl at night alone in the dark at losing the most valuable thing to me. I'd only write this on a forum, in my life I'm the guy people come to with their problems and I'm known as the tough one but then I guess I've never really loved or had my heart broken before. They say life goes on but life can be truly terrible without the one you love in it.
It's been a terrible time but all good things in the past few years of my life came from this girl so I'm thankful she was a deep part of my life even if it was a short period of time and I know I helped her prosper in her life too.
I gained a massive amount of weight in a very short amount of time until the day I saw myself in the mirror and coincidentally there was a fitness challenge due to start so I decided regardless of how I felt I was going to work myself out of my hole and try to fix myself.
I don't know if I will and I don't really suppose it really matters, it just gave me a good bit of extra motivation to work harder and try to achieve as much as I could in 50 days.
