It's more of a confidence thing for me. I used to be in great shape and I truly let myself go. I ballooned to 275 lbs a few years ago. My ideal weight is right around 200 and I'm at 215.

GAL has been important for me. It's hard because I have two young kids with my W so I can't live life like I'm a single bachelor that can up and do things at a moments notice.

Two things I did. #1 Started working out 3-4 times per week. For my own personal gain plus it's a huge stress relief. #2 Be a better father. I've always been a great father but I gave away ALL of my electronic devices besides my phone. But when I'm with my kids, my phone goes on the nightstand and stays there until someone calls or I need to make a call.

I've also done countless little things to GAL and fortunately summer is almost here so outdoor activities will increase exponentially.

So it all goes back to GAL and building my confidence back. Three months ago, my confidence was SHOT. And nobody is attracted to a person like that.
