    Funny fake motivational video

    Guys, what u think?
    Lisa Williams posted this as a beautiful story of one Man´s amazing recovery.
    WTF!
    People commenting, crying, tearful, beautiful, amazing, God´s work...are u serious.
    I actually laughed, out loud, when he was "falling", ridiculous.
    And trying to stand on your head with a severely injured back....lol.
    He just got fat on hot dogs, period!
    He should´t have gotten fat in the first place.
    Sobbing music ...lol.
    Hope those braces was not purchased with my Tax money.
    And "He gave up, wouldn´t you have given up too?"...NO, I wouldn´t! Drowning in self pity and potato chips is not the way most people handle challenges.
    Unless they have a severe metabolism medical issue, Fatties get no pity from me, or no cudos for loosing weight they should no have gained in the first place. They become a burden on society.

    Fake or not?

    I always try to give credit to anyone that loses a significant amount of weight. Good for him.

    He is more like us now than he was at the start. Taking fitness more seriously, worried about health, etc.

    I don't have a problem with people that DO change, I struggle with the people that DON'T change.

    I might have been too hard, I don´t know.
    I just think the story is blown out of proportion.
    The fall is fake.
    The headstand with a spinal injury, falling over. Why would he do that?
    "All yoga instructors turned be down, then I met Dallas". Why would yoga instructors turn him down?
    He lost weight, great!! But that´s it. Why fake a sob story? There must be an underlying objective here.
    I´m really not a cynic, just hate capital adventurers taking advantage of good people.
    I would like to know if I´m being an ass. I would feel bad.
    Why do I even care...lol.

    The guy and video look kinda goofy but if real, props for the drastic improvement. Would love to see some of the fatties I cross paths with make half the effort to better themselves.

    Yea, great.......but why the fake ass lame video, if it is really him in the after shot....fine but the drama and theatrics speak volumes about everything in and associated with this video and/or people. Thought he said he was injured from parachuting, ruined his knees and back and THEN he put on weight......weird, after he lost the weight his knees and back were magically healed and he could run and jump like an athlete.......hmmmm maybe being a fat bastard is good for injured knees and compressed discs, I think we've stumbled onto the next health craze.....put on 100 pounds so your body can heal itself. I aint buying that an injured fat bastard is somehow so stupid that he tries a headstand and falls into a china cabinet or waves his arms around like a cartoon character while falling forward for no apparant reason. If he did lose weight, good for him but the video is insulting and retarded and he should expect anyone with a double digit IQ or higher to mock it.

    That´s how I felt, thanks.
    I don´t want to be negative for no reason.

    I'll admit I am usually skeptical about this stuff. But plenty of people actually do give up when their doctor tells them something. And if it is real and he made those changes, and even got himself back together enough to run, than that is an amazing life change. I expected that scene to be him walking, but walk to jog to sprint was pretty amazing.

    I hope it's a true story, although many things don't line up....the knee and back injuries are baffeling to me......but I digress, my comments were aimed at the retardedness of the video.

    The person putting this together knew the video had to have a compelling story in order for them to have their few minutes of viral internet fame.

    Veteran. Jumping out of airplanes. Injuries. Depression. Breakthrough. Rocky-like effort. Success. Profit.

    This will get him on at least a few talk shows, and I assume he would like a book deal. Man, I wish I would have documented my (still incomplete) transformation.
