42KG DOWN - GET AROUND HIM GUYS!
Every now and then, a man comes into our Academy and just steps it up a level.
Which is ironic, because of how stuck Mark was.
Sitting at 194kg, Eddo was still the same beautiful human
But he’d got to a weight where it was no longer ok.
No longer safe if he wanted to be around for his wife Kirsten and kids long term.
Kirsten had sent me a couple of messages, encouraging me to reach out to Mark but I didn’t
I knew we had to wait until he was ready for it.
𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲.
And then one fine day in September last year, that time came.
𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝟓 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬, 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝟏𝟓𝐤𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧.
But what’s more impressive, was that he had the courage to document his journey publicly along the way
The BBA provided him the accountability he needed to move forward in his journey.
I think about how hard it must have been to reach out and finally ask for help.
‘𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘪𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬?’
‘𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘧*𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘵 𝘶𝘱?’
‘𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵?’
All those limited self-beliefs that we all face.
But he walked at the fire, 100 miles an hour!
This guy is a courageous, lovable, loyal, funny, MF that would talk your ears off underwater with a mouthful of marbles.

Now, why am I posting this now?
Because I want to give Mark some extra accountability to push on.
