The most painful part of being tired wasn’t the extra weight… it was hearing…
‘Dad, can we play?’ 💬
And not having the energy to say yes
“Dad, can we play?”
I heard those words every day.
And every day, I said: “Maybe later, buddy.”
😔 Not because I didn’t want to.
😴 Because I was EXHAUSTED.
My Reality:
👨👧👦 Dad of three (10, 7, and 2)
🏠 Work from home running my business
👶 Full childcare and household duties
My typical day:
☀️ Morning activities with my toddler →
🧹 Cleaning →
🍽️ Lunch prep →
🏫 School pickup →
🚗 Shuttling to extracurriculars →
🍲 Dinner →
🛁 Bath time →
📚 Homework help
🌙 By evening? Starving and exhausted.
⏱️ I’d grab whatever was quick.
🚫 Usually the worst choices.
The Cycle:
❌ Bad food → Terrible sleep → Tired mornings → Repeat
😞 I had no energy for my kids.
😤 I was irritable.
🏋️ I stopped exercising.
⚖️ The weight crept on.
💔 And the worst part?
I knew my kids deserved better.
My wife deserved better.
I deserved better.
What Changed:
🛑 I stopped trying to eat less. It wasn’t working.
😵 I couldn’t sleep well. I was overeating at the end—mostly the wrong food.
🧠 Instead, I learned how my body ACTUALLY works.
🗂️ I organized my eating habits and supplemented properly.
The Result:
✅ Lost 7 kg (15+ lbs) in 60 days WITHOUT exercising initially
✅ Got my energy back for work AND family
✅ Can play with my kids without feeling wiped out
✅ No more cravings for sweets and salty snacks
✅ Feel STRONGER and more PRESENT
✅ Kept the weight off
❤️ I finally became the dad and husband I wanted to be.
The Truth:
👨👩👧👦 Nothing is more important than my family.
🎯 I needed to stay true to them and give them the best version of me.
🔍 I recognized the problem.
⚡ Made a decision.
🚀 Took action.
✨ And everything changed.
