Bye Bye Fatman was born on social media on 12th July, 2021.
On that day I posted my first ever video on social media and pledged to post every day until I had met my goal of losing a substantial amount of weight and improving my health and wellness. It took a lot of courage to post that original video, as at the time I weighed 410lbs or 186KGs. I was morbidly obese and desperately needed to lose weight.
In many respects, I knew it was my last chance to make a dramatic life transformation, and to do something that might have a positive effect on my potential lifespan. I had tried to lose weight countless times before, often with some initial success but ultimately failing to achieve my goals. However, this time I knew something was different. It’s hard to define, but I knew that I was in the right place and that I had more resolve to follow through on my weight loss journey compared to the past. Making that first video was a pivotal moment in my journey.
Weight loss is usually a private affair. Few people apart from one’s
immediate family are usually aware when someone starts on a “diet” but I had
told the world. And I didn’t just tell the world that I was going to start a
“diet”, still further I announced that I was going to transform my life!
Holding myself to account by posting daily videos since that day was a stroke
of genius! A weight loss journey is hard, but when you’ve promised the world
and his wife that you are going to do it there is even more pressure.
