Nothing is impossible, if the goal is set and the
effort is given to stay on top of it until the goal is achieved. Those ones who
is underestimated and not looked at like an average person because of their
overweight or being out of shape, is possible to change if they decide to work
hard enough.

Shawn Breitkreutz a football lover, played football
while he was in high school. After graduation he took s full time job and gets
busy with life. However my point here is something else, might sound rude but I
am going to say anyway. Shawn use to be an unhealthy over weighted kid. According
to him- for his this kind of health he felt tired all the time, he had lack of
real confidence. Every time he looked at the mirror it made him sad. Good part
here is “Mirror” is what made him taking his life time decision. He didn’t like
what he saw in the mirror, so he decided to change that, decided to do
everything it takes so that “he can look in the mirror and make himself feel
good.”

He gets a gym membership with one of his buddy,
started working out together. In few weeks his buddy felt out, however he kept
going. Alone! He did quite a bit of research and found this 3 month transformation
program he finished it, he saw some result what motivated him even more. His vision
was very clear, and in all sudden he starts playing football again, which is
love of his life. Body transformation does not happen by only weight lifting or
hardcore exercise. Eating healthy and being on healthy diet is a very big part
of it. Grocery, cooking, prepping takes a lot of time. After working a full
time job, playing football and spending huge amount of time in the gym working
out, it is not easy to find time to cook. First it was little challenging, but
later he got so used to it. Now, it takes him about two hours to prepare and
prep meal which he uses for a whole week. This is another key of understanding
how passionate he is. His journey has not been easy, what we see in front of
our eyes is the result but it took him a lot to get here. There was uncountable
of time he would be exhausted, tired, different joint pain, muscle sore in
various places that want him to quit. He did not. Shawn said form his personal
experience “those days he did not feel like going to gym, but drag himself
here, those had been his most productive days of killer work out. He dragged himself
to the gym because he had the confidence that he will feel better for himself
by the time he leaves. He lived through out a quote “excuse will always be
there for you, opportunity won’t”.

Shawn mentioned
people do not at him the same way they used to. When someone show their appreciation
for his great transformation that simply makes him smile. He is a real chill
person at the gym, anytime if anyone needs help with anything he always tries
his best to help them. His dream is to open an Olympic style gym in future. His
advice to those kind of people who are living an unhealthy life but willing to
do something about it is “do not care what other people thinks about you, do it
for yourself, in the end what all matters is if you made yourself happy”.
It is not a TV show or life experiment. Shawn is real,
so is his transformation in Topeka, KS. He is just another example of Success after
Hard Work. I had great time listening his story, he is also very kind as a
person. Wish Shawn a very good future and hope him to motivate others in life
changing event.
