One of my best decisions I ever made in life was to get myself healthy. So if you don't know about me, I lost a little bit, like 118 pounds, which was a lot of weight, right? Uh, took me a little over 3 years to do it. But the thing is, once you do these things, your health stuff, everything else is a lot better. You love yourself better, you get more opportunities, you make more money. That's how a lot of stuff works, and a lot of people just don't understand that. So if I ever get on here and I say this person's fat and they're lazy and they're this and that, that's because I'm telling the damn truth, okay? Because I used to be that person. You are me and I am you. We put our pants on the same damn way, left leg or right leg, whichever one you choose, it doesn't matter. The thing is, what your past doesn't determine your future. What does? You. You're the only thing that could kickstart you right in the damn ass and change your future. The thing is, are you ready to do that?
