Inspirtational story, yours. You've experienced so many things. I have had a smaller transformation in life and getting disciplined about food and exercise was such a big change in my life. Nothing close to what you haveexperienced and achieved.
This is a very good motivational article forna lot of young folks. Keep up the good work. Yoir experienxe can be a direction for many.
Thank you for your kind words, @karamyog! The health thing was a little obstacle compared to other things I had to face in life, but that's what it's about isn't it? Falling and getting back up again. Being healthy is just something to help the process 😊

Good for you to stick to the goal of a healthy life and make changes that work for you. I lost "half my size" a few years ago and I now coach and write books to help others do the same.
I have a suggestion for you about food. Get some type of app that tracks nutrition such as vitamins, fiber, minerals etc. I have found that calories are not as important as the nutrition. You need enough things such as vitamin C, magnesium, iodine and many others to stay in top form. When you only look at calories, carbs, protein and fat, you still can be missing those nutrients that keep you healthy.
When I lost my weight, I actually stopped counting calories at all and only counted nutritional values for my food. This was really what helped me succeed.
You are looking great in the last two pics. It's so nice to read of your success. I'm sorry to say I do not see to much of it in my field.
And congrats on your curie vote. This is a post that surely deserves it.
@fitinfun Thank you for your advice! I will try to get an app for nutritional food. Can you recommend any for me? Unfortunately some of the apps i've tried to look for (though not centered around nutrients) don't cater to the asian foods available in Thailand specifically. There are apps from Thailand, however they aren't in English.
Congrats to you on getting to your optimal fitness routine as well and it's excellent that you've made a career out of it!
That's a lot of changes you've been through!
But most important you found the key of success to finally have a balance between being too skinny or weighing too much.
Personally I never believed into some kind of diets or some kind of exercises because the secret is motivation. It's all you need to change your lifestyle and bring something new into your life. Going to the gym do helps your body and also your health but more than that it has this power to keep the stress away or just help you whenever you have a bad day, at least this is for me.
If when I started to read the article I felt a little bit sad, now I'm happy that I made it to the end to see that you are feeling great. Congratulations on your motivation and doing the changes you needed in your life! :)
Thanks so much @gabrielatravels! Little motivations like this helps a lot too. Having a positive mindset keeps stress away but keeping yourself preoccupied helps the loneliness. I finally found the meaning of a happy mind and a happy body 😊
Great documentary of your journey, and its really good advice to add some fatty meats to your diet. I have seen a lot of improvements in my mental sense of wellbeing and my digestion in general, as I used to be so meticulous to cut off all the fat, believing the lie that 'fat makes you fat'. The truth is that our bodies have trouble breaking down proteins properly without the fat.
Also, diet and exercise is very much a 'custom fit' model. One size does not fit all! I have a hard time running or walking on pavement, preferring to hike in the mountains, swim or use a bike.
I enjoyed listening to 'Champion' while reading your article. You are a winner, a champion, and I look forward to you continuing to document your life progress here with us all.
Great write, brotha..! Good to see how things have improved over the years, keep it going bro!
I am on a very low carb diet too. Now I seem to be in trouble, I am losing too much..! How do I keep up man?
Too much? What does that mean? Are you malnutritioned? Hahaha just treat yourself to something nice once every week or two.. Do you exercise with your diet?
Maybe I am. Yeah I do some planking and sit ups daily. Not that much. Yas, time for that Triple Cheeseburger man it's been months.
Partiko huh, interesting. Downloading it!

Hi stickykeys.
You have written a very interesting story about you.
Am amazed how you have put on much weight now despite your tiny size since way back when you were joining the army.
And your captain America first movie weight is a nice memory to create a story. How you went for army training with that size.
Here in Uganda army training lasts 10 months. Am amazed that it's six weeks there.
