This...this right here is a day worth celebrating. Today I asked Patrick for the update on how much he’s lost in total since April 1. He did the math real quick, and replied, “108 pounds.” So, I looked him dead in the face and said, “You’ve lost me!” Now, grant you, I know I’m not of the largest stature, but I’m a grown person. He used to carry my equivalent everyday before this journey began. Mind blowing to me. I’ve been waiting for this day. I told him we were gonna take this picture when he reached this particular benchmark, and I can’t believe the day is here that we get to celebrate it.
Truly, the more he loses of his “old self”, the more the pounds melt away, the more I see him finding the things he truly lost through the years as the pounds mounted. It stole so much, and daily, I see him reclaiming his life—our lives with him—and joy is added to us all as we walk with him. And man, do we celebrate every victory. So, don’t mind me as I brag shamelessly and cheer him on in his race. Feel free to continue joining me to encourage him as he crushes pounds and takes his life back! #losingpatrick
