Today my 6 year old stepson, who absolutely adores and loves me told me: "When I grow up I want to be fat like you!". Well if this doesn't make me get back on track and losing weight, nothing will.

I was over 600 pounds in September 2017. I lost 235 pounds over 14 months.

Over the last 6 months I found a girl, fell in love, moved in with her, and got married.

With all of this new stuff in my life, I kinda let the weight loss slip and haven't lost anything in the last 6 months. I've stayed on the diet, still eating clean for the most part but have been eating too much and starting to use food as an emotional crutch again. I have to realize that binging on chicken and salad might not be as bad as pizza and donuts, but its still bad.

Today with my stepson saying that to me, knowing how much he loves me, hurt me so much. The last thing I want for him is to be fat like me. I have to do this for myself, but more than me, I have to do this for my stepson and for my future kids.

This was a wake up call. Time to get back on track and break through the plateau.
