I’m a 25 year old South African male living in Johannesburg, the economic power hub of the African continent. I work in the IT industry as a consultant of a major international firm. Up until recently I was living a pretty unhealthy lifestyle:
- I smoked
- Regular drinker
- Overweight by 13 kilograms
- Depressed
- Didn’t exercise
- In debt
- Technically bankrupt
That was the old me. The new me has achieved a lot in the mean time:
- Stopped smoking
- Stopped drinking (regularly that is)
- Reduced my weight by 13kg
- Still not exercising – but I have a plan in place to start shortly.
- Still in debt – slowly crawling out of it!
- Still technically bankrupt
Best of all I’m not depressed anymore and that’s the biggest achievement of all!
I hope to give inspiration to anybody who might be in a similar or worse situation, and let them see the power of human willpower and ingenuity!
