This dude us amazing @_grindhardprayharder_ - I’m proud of you. . I know it was a long road. I know a lot of people discredit what you had to go through as being challenging. I know that you wondered if any of the work you do and dedication you put in will ever mean anything. I’m happy to tell you it does. . God gave you a journey to go on that He didn’t call anyone else to besides you. Bodybuilding shows, Physique shows, fitness shows, might not be one of yours and I can’t say its mine either. It’s just a platform I can use to encourage and motivate those on the same journey—getting in shape, losing weight, living healthier. . I’ve dealt with so much guilt over the years. I hated myself for the times I chose to gym and diet, instead of hanging out with the people I love over the years. But those that loved me, loved me whether I was overweight or in shape. . So I want to tell you the same. I love you as you are for who you are. I would never want you to change and lose yourself, trying to better yourself but forgetting the heart that you have for the person you’ve become. The more that people love you and your heart, the more that the physical appearance doesn’t matter. . But I love you enough to support you if you don’t want make the decision to live healthier. To get in shape. To compete. I love you enough to stand by your side in every journey you’re going through, because I know how hard it is doing it alone. I know that you can do it but I would never want you to feel like you have to. . Thank you everyone for your love and support. I hope that the last years of my journey will motivate you and encourage to commit to grinding for yours. Love you. . #GrindHardPrayHarder #TeamCutz #cnpperformance #MyStrengthIsInTheLord #bodybuilding #Versagripps #fitlife #fattofit #obesetoabeast #transformationfitnation #instagramfitness #weightloss #fitforlife #nwchampionships @northwestchampionships https://www.instagram.com/p/BqBdm3KnNOm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18vbpxmjjymeh
