One month from now, you’ll be staring at a new you. The stone is gone. You’ll have learned that your willpower is tougher than you thought. You’ll have eaten weird meals, sweated in weird places, and probably laughed at yourself in the mirror. Good.
That fourteen-pound stone? It’s just a number. The real prize is knowing you can do hard things. And you can do them while having fun. So go sprint in your underwear, eat a green apple, and brush your teeth at 8 PM. You’ve got this. Now go lose that stone.
