There's always a great achievement in defeating our own weakness. I'm on the way, just 15kg more to loose and I'm done. Worst part is to keep stress eating away.

I can't even begin to tell how much I identified with the struggles to keep everything in your life attended and in order. Beyond the physical transformation, I feel inspired and proud of the way you managed to change your way of thinking and your life too. Congratulations and many thanks for becoming (once again, hehe) my personal hero. Love you, John ❤

John,

This has really put a lot into perspective for me as well, though I have autism rather than ADHD. I actually started dieting recently again and I'm going to try to take some of these points to heart while I do so. Thanks for the inspiration!

Dude that's awesome, I'm super happy for you! I had a similar experience. I lost somewhere in the realm of 70 lbs by just becoming a different person. I didn't start actively measuring till I was down to 254lbs. I was an active guy most of my life and like you I liked to eat. I wasn't conscious of the fact that I was eating more than I needed to, and I never actually thought of myself as fat. I would see photos of myself and get confused why the guy in the photo looked so gross. I do remember laying in bed one night and feeling this weird pressure on my stomach, only to realize it was gravity and my stomach was lifting the blanket so it hung differently on me. But still I never thought of myself as fat. I just knew I was unhappy.

Wow! I didn't even recognize you at first. I've been a fan of The Cog is Dead for a while now, so this blew me away.

Hey bud! Congrats on the weight loss! Admittedly, I haven't yet watched the whole video yet (it's 12 in the morning so I'm hitting the sack!) but I just wanted to drop a comment real quick! I'm happy to see your success so far and hope you're able to get the body you want; after all, good health will hopefully mean many more years of awesome music! I've been a fan and listening since 2014, and hope to be doing the same in 2054! Keep it up; We're all pulling for you!

As a stocky 17 year old you don't know how much this information helped me and ill definitely try this out first thing tomorrow morning and thank you for being such a supportive loving person and thanks for sharing your story and im so happy that you don't have these struggles anymore and i hope you have a great rest of your day 👍

[@RoseKindred]

Thank you for this and the interactions with chat during the premiere. You are an inspiration.

[@Storyteller-SAB]

I am so glad you shared your story. So much of it mirrors my own struggles. You are now an inspiration to others.

[@NerdStuffing]

Super proud of you dude! Due to a combination of mental and physical issues I'm currently near 375. I'm hoping to find some ideas to help me.

[@akantor1O1]

I dont know about ADHD, but I think I may have had some things that forced me to rely on food for comfort. I REALLY want to try out what you did, but i still cant quite find the motivation to do it, even knowing that it would be strictly a very good thing. I'm super glad you made it work out and shared how it worked for you. Thanks a lot. Hoping i find the motivation to do what you did, Im super glad for you.

[@michaelreed1768]

[@dustysapper]

Congratulations! Way to be an inspiration for many!

[@AlisNinsky]

Thank you for sharing your story with us! It’s great to hear such a positive story.

[@Ditter215]

Oh man, was this relatable! I found myself nodding along and agreeing with pretty much every word. Pretty sure I could write my story and just copy and paste most of this and change a few details. I even got my wife a silver KitchenAid stand mixer for Christmas this year (which she loves, by the way)!

[@Luis__Diaz]

By the way, you are powerful 💪Keep it up, greetings from Mexico 🗣️🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

My mom at one point was almost 500 pounds, but once a nurse once said, "The only way you lose weight is with surgery,"

[@StormHerald3D]
