Late, but quite timely for me. Thank you for this, especially for the honesty. I apologize for the oncoming ramble, but I just have to say: you really made an important realization when you emphasized that it’s more about happiness than vanity, at least as the catalyst to your journey. Because not only is the pursuit of happiness and that sense of feeling somewhat content with ourselves is the simplest and most powerful, consistent, motivator there is, you’re also realizing your parents’ hopes and wishes for you. You’re such a decent, good being and I’m so grateful that you’ve continued to take the time to speak about your progress and struggles - it fuels me as a person and especially as a young, single, (and quite frankly, constantly terrified of failing my kid) parent myself, it’s exactly the kick-in-the-rear I need. Much blessings to you and your loved ones, Jeff - keep being you - we really are lucky to be able to turn to your story anytime we need a reminder that yes, it’s really really hard, but also a straightforward matter of self-discipline as well as always reevaluating and adapting our goals. PS Again, please pardon the oncoming ramble, but to clarify what I mentioned above re parents: what you said about how it was just as much about what your dear Mum has lost: I don’t have the words to express my admiration that you recognized that. From a parent’s perspective, this is important: please know that you honour her, your entire, ongoing journey is an affirmation of her love and her hopes for you. With absolute heartfelt conviction, I can say that a mother’s or any parent/guardian’s for that matter natural instinct is to want the best for our children, their happiness, their laughter, that they get the love and respect they deserve, no matter how old or independent they get, so I can say with confidence, your Mum is so so proud and feels blessed to have a son like yourself who’s constantly bettering himself and helping others along the way. To elucidate: there’s this overwhelming tendency to credit parents for who their children are and all they accomplish, but, as a parent myself, I can say with absolute certainty that our children surprise, delight, and inspire us over and over again with your resilience and incredible capacity for unconditional love, and we’ve had but a minuscule role in everything our babies learn and accomplish. (Frankly, to give an idea, personally I’m just trying to keep up and pay attention to my daughter’s cues as to her always evolving needs at any given time, no clue whatsoever as to whether I’m going to succeed or flop) - ultimately it’s all you amazing kids, and we parents are here simply as support and encouragement, a role that personally brings me great joy and fulfillment on a level I never knew before, and I can’t help but feel it’s the same for your Mum. See, here’s the thing: as a parent, my greatest, and terrifyingly persistent fear, is that I’m going to fail my child. So to see our babies thrive and, wow! do good for others too!, it’s the best reminder that, somehow, we didn’t screw up, that we’re doing something right in this monumental task we’ve been blessed with. And yes, again, I know I’m but a (youngish, single, but I’m trying trying trying!) Mum so I’m pretty sure I can say all this with absolute conviction, that while parenting is this huge, never-ending, often baffling and frustrating learning curve, the only constant, besides the speed of light of course 🤓, is the love and fervent hope that our children find peace and love and laughter, and that hope never changes or diminishes. So when you are content and happy and thriving and progressing in your goals, (and again, bonus! doing good for others!), we know that somehow, even when flying by the seat of our pants no less, we done alright too 😎)

I am so sorry for everything you experienced with your mother. I have a rare genetic disorder called vascular ehlers-danlos syndrome which makes me extremely prone to vascular events like aneurysms. Strokes, and organ ruptures. My mom has the same condition. He mother we believe had it too, she passed away in her 60s. My mom thankfully is still doing ok but every day is a question on whether she will be here tomorrow or not and the same for myself... It's so so scary... I feel like I'm a ticking time bomb. People with my disorder normally don't live past the age of 50 and being 34, that scared the living crap out of me. I went from being extremely healthy, working out 6 days a week and hiking on the 7th, weighing just 130 lbs which is a perfect weight for my body... Then I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer (I didn't even know about the vascular condition) and that just kicked everything up. Chronic pain, extreme fatigue... So much more...its hard for me to even get out of bed most times. Sorry for writing so much... Thank you for sharing your story. I hope I will eventually feel well enough to care about getting back to where I was and where you are now... You give me hope. So thank you ♥

It's a beautiful video and you're a beautiful person

[@victor.amc11]

I had a similar problem, and I take your story as inspiration you're extremely handsome, even fat, but muscular its beauty is more visible there's nothing better than having love for your own body, and the best thing is that there's nothing negative about anything you publish thank you for sharing your story with us

[@TheVioletangel1]

Bless you, thank you for sharing this. As someone who lost their Mum (in 2003) I understand the pain and know how hard it is to see a parent unwell; the not knowing what is happening or is going to happen. I'm just glad your Mum is home and has all your love and support. You're a very special human 🌟 There were some great tips in there for weight loss too. Constantly battling my own...always trying hard 💪💪 Keep being you and sending love from the UK to you and your amazing family ❤️

I've spent the start of this year struggling to figure out how to lose weight. I have a back injury that messes with my ability to work out, walk, and even do chores. I've tried to watch my weight but I get so stressed and don't really know how to deal with it. I live in town and have no car so I can't really get out to nature. But I'm trying my best and I'd appreciate any tips you have for me!

[@hh9150]

Amazing! I can really relate to this because I have just quite recently started changing my habits by for example taking atleast a little walk daily or every other day and I try to keep it up so it will become a habit in a long run. I have also started going to the gym more often which actually feels great but finding the motivation for it is hard at times. Very inspiring video and it shows that we are not alone even if everyones journey is a little different! ❤

[@shelbysmith7220]

Beast mode activate!! You got this Mr. sir life only gives you situations that make you stronger!! I'm sorry your family went through all that.❤️ You are a prince 😊

[@shelbysmith7220]

[@Valithaish]

[@Valithaish]

@@jeffkendall1023 It is a very sad story, I'm so sorry what happened to your mom Jeff, but as they said, it doesn't matter how we fall, what matter is how we get up, I would love to see more of your videos showing your diet and exercise routine. Thank you again for sharing this with us! - @Valerike -IG.

[@anerdynugget5350]

You've come from far, but you've held on and never gave up. Its beautiful to see you wanting to fight/loss weight for your mother and im so sorry for her. I hope she's doing better now godbless. Your story definitely inspired me, although i'll have to do it on my own pace xD
