Happy Fathers Day to all who celebrate it today, but truth be told we should celebrate it everyday because we never know when it will be the last! This story is a hard one to tell...

4 years ago I tried taking my own life, since then I took to food for comfort, gained a great amount of weight, activity levels went to nothing, no work, no cycling, no walking, even walking my daughter to school I was out of breath, taking breaks on such a short walk.

For my whole life I have had a huge phobia of taking my shirt off Infront of others, hospital trips for my heart made me cry not because of the pain, but for the sake I had to take my shirt off Infront of a nurse, always been very uncomfortable for me, even with partners I wouldn't take my top off. So I found GLP1 Forum, and you men and women have supported me like I would never imagine!

Today brought me light that I thought Id never see again, in just 14 weeks I have lost 58 pounds, I'm now walking everyday without struggles, Cycling 20-30km twice per week, my mental health healed from using GLP's (5/5mg Reta and Triz)

So here you go... its not a shirtless picture but I do it all for my Daughter and will never look back, just to think she might have not had a father today reminds me never to think like that again ❤️

Happy Father's Day. I've been through some of the same. I tried taking my life many times. The constant redicule I got for being overweight my whole life really got to me. But by the grace of God I'm still here. Glp saved me too. Now I don't give a flip what anyone says.
Glad your still here to tell your story.

I feel you! Stay strong with me ❤️
 
What a beautiful post! I'm so happy that you are happier and doing so much better. Life is dark, and pulling through that is a real accomplishment... so is that fantastic loss!

Happy Father's Day!
 
Happy Fathers Day!! Wow almost 60;bs and you'll be there for your family!

Depression can really take it's toll, one of my son suffers from it and the best thing he did for his mental health by far was to start exercising...brining out those natural endorphins.

I don't know you, so this may come out as superficial, but I am very proud of you for not giving up on yourself and your family.
 
Living life isn't always easy...But with that little cutie you have right there, the sun is shining, the joy she brings can lift the clouds....You are blessed... 👍 🙂
 
Happy Father's Day. Glad you're still with us. From one dad to another - to your children you are a hero, regardless of any self-doubt, negative thoughts or past struggles. None of that matters to them, they love you and need you for the man you are today and will be tomorrow! Congratulations and best of luck.
