1420 days and life for me is so different from my pre quit life that some would barely recognize me.

1421 days ago I was an obese sedentary software architect who felt defeated. I was at the end of my rope being a slave to tobacco, I was ashamed of what I had let myself become.

Quitting taught me I have strength, and self control. I have applied that to other areas of my life and now I sit here on the verge of competing in an Ironman with my quit brother from Jan 2014 and I have my story told in runners world magazine :)
