Take the pictures.

For you.

Too embarrassed?

Why?

Who cares?

This is YOUR life and YOUR journey.

There’s roughly 12–14 years between these two pictures.

I’m not gonna be a di****ad and tell you I look younger now in my 40s than I did in my late 20s and 30s.

I might say that in my 50s when I’ve completely lost my sense of reality. 😂🤣

But what I will say is that I’m more experienced now.

I’m beginning to know myself better.

I understand myself better.

Counselling has helped with that.

I’m still working on a few things. I definitely haven’t got everything figured out.

But I’m getting there.

And I think that’s probably the point.

The picture on the left isn’t something I’m embarrassed about.

It’s part of my story.

Just like the picture on the right is.

You don’t have to hate the person you were to become a better version of yourself.

You just have to be honest about where you are now.

And sometimes that starts with something as simple as taking the fu***ng picture.

Take the picture.

Not for Instagram.

Not for anyone else.

For you.

I’m putting together The Before & After Project — 10 weeks for those who want to see what they can actually change when they stop starting again and give themselves a proper run at it.

If you’re thinking “I need to sort myself out”…

DM me “BEFORE” and I’ll send you the details.

This post was from 2 years ago, resharing as the message is still relevant

Have you ever felt so low and lost that you didn’t know where to turn?

Have you ever turned to drugs or alcohol to try and escape?

This was me for years

I had addicted to Co***ne until I was 32 (12 years in total)

Im now 45 with a few scars along the way

I was spending hundreds of pounds a week at my worst points, getting in debt, and lucky to be alive

Do you know what helped me??

Training.

It helped with my come downs and it felt like my way of getting on track.

My trigger for change?

Well two actually, getting arrested on losing your loved ones was the wake up call

I didn’t touch it after this

THEN the fu***ng weight PILED ON – I hit 103 KG and felt disgusting, body conscious, (pics are on insta)

For a while, I had no libido

I couldn’t run more than five mins without blowing out my arse

I found a way out

I started training (properly) with structure,

I took the guess work away with the help of a coach and started to learn some very basic habits on food and nutrition

(at this time, it was simply cut take away nights from four down to two ) but it was a start

Fast forward 10 years later

Here I am now coaching, learning and enjoying the journey

(biggest wa**er line that – but it’s true)

Why I am telling you this?

Simply, I have been there.

I have walked in these shoes, and LIVED EXPERIENCE

It can be difficult for and to open up and have an outlay to talk about things like this

I’m here for it.

If you’ve been or ARE in this situation and want to get your fitness and habits on track.
