Generally most people are just more courteous, to my face at least,' he writes. He also states that he is more confident, enjoys outdoor activities, and has better mental health. Moreover, he is no longer pre-diabetic, and his sleep apnea has also improved.

He emphasizes the importance of creating achievable goals, whether it's through eating healthier or exercising for a few minutes a day at first. Additionally, he encourages individuals to be kind to themselves and forgive any mistakes that may occur along the way. Finally, he suggests that people try different things until they find what works best for their body and lifestyle.
Conclusion
Casedilla's weight loss journey is an inspiration to many who are struggling with their weight or body image. His journey highlights that everyone's motivation can be different and that it's essential to find what works best for our body and lifestyle. From creating achievable goals to being kind to ourselves, this journey exemplifies the power that comes from positive changes. And as Casedilla says, 'it never stops!'
