Carlos' MIND BLOWING 384 POUND Weight Loss Story

what's up guys welcome back to the channel thank you so much for clicking on today's video so as you guys can tell we got a guest today for heavy talk this is Carlos this I am so excited for them to hear your story I honestly don't know that much so the before her before we get into your story the way that we met was actually at the gym a couple days ago I was working out and then it was I was done I was in the locker room and you came up to me like tapped me on the shoulder and he said hey like it was super nonchalant right he's like hey man I just want to say like I follow your stuff and like I appreciate what you do I've also lost a little bit of weight and so I was like oh how much weight have you lost like just wondering and you said how much weight 384 pounds 3 almost you won't you've lost almost 400 pounds yeah like you you have lost a very morbidly obese human yeah that's unbelievable so obviously that's what we're gonna be talking about today what was your heaviest weight my heaviest recorded weight was 611 pounds 6 600 pounds yeah and so how old are you now I am 34 34 and how tall are you 6 foot 3 okay so people always ask that so yeah I mean I'm just curious like how did were you someone that kind of gained weight all throughout your childhood like how did you basically how did you end up being 611 pounds yeah it wasn't one of those things where I held my figure well and let myself go I was from like a very early childhood I was always a heavyset kid you know throughout junior high high school college trade tech school I was always a heavy guy it got really bad I want to say somewhere around 2014-2015 I was I was diagnosed with diabetes and you know things at hand rabble from there you know the hypertension sleep apnea the high blood pressure things like that you know and I just I just spiraled were you like in in like middle school and in high school because I remember when I was when I was in high school and middle school like I was already like the biggest kid was that did you have the same experience oh yeah I was in any class I was in I was always the biggest heaviest kid did you did you have like did you do anything any sports or anything like that like what what do you think were the things that led you to be as big as you were um just poor eating habits I was never really active I mean I didn't really play sports you know I mean typical childhood thing we would go to the pool during like spring in summer and even that was a pretty uncomfortable experience I didn't really get into sports until high school I played like you know football and you know at that point it pays to be a big guy especially if you're you know playing a lineman or something but that's really it I was never really somebody that you know was like extremely physically active or anything like that I was really just more about TV and not so much video games but like just TV reading and food unfortunately you know it's it's a it's one of those things where I just I was really really into food you said that in 2014 you you were diagnosed with diabetes yeah now how did like what led up to that where there were there issues that you were having that you kind of noticed cuz I I know that like for me for example I I remember when I was at my heaviest I started noticing that my feet were scabbing really bad and I remember I brought that up to my mom and I kind of I didn't know that that was like a side effect kind of thing so I was like oh I just have like athlete's foot or something like that you know and she kind of got freaked out and when she got freaked out he freaked me out and then I was like okay I'm never going to talk about this again there's a guy the way that I handled things was like I just pushed it down and pushed it away so did you have like symptoms that led you to go to the hospital or did you have like a serious issue that you know what I mean I did it was something it's one of those things that you don't notice it right away so it becomes a gradual thing and it's kind of like frogs starting to gradually boil in hot water so I would notice especially like in trade school I was in my early 20s I was living on my own so I didn't really have anybody to kind of like check me and say like hey you may want to notice this issue I had been at like big and tall store since I was in junior high so that was no surprise I started noticing like I had a hard time going upstairs and I don't mean like oh I'm winded I meant like I would find any excuse not to have to go up a flight of stairs so things like that if I ever fell asleep or dozed off and I had my feet on the floor my feet would swell to the point where I either had a hard time getting shoes off or had a hard time putting them back on Wow so I mean it was you know I I noticed gradual things and then you know but my blood work always came back relatively normal so I would kind of tell myself oh I'm not around healthy I'm just heavy it's funny how much do now can go like because I'm assuming by then you're at like at least 400 pounds or easily like well my blood works fine yes I'm 400 pounds but I am happy for a 400 pound exactly you know it was one of those things were even going to the doctor's office now you got to keep in mind this is back in like 2011 mm Oh like earlier than that like 2008-2009 they hadn't really fully embraced bariatric scales so that scale went to like 350 and they'd be like well do you know how much you weigh yeah yeah no I'm around 390 I was like 360 for sure you know so it was like I was 390 like a woman was 25 so it's like you know it was just 390 for five years exactly you know so you know and then I would notice things like once I once I graduated trade school and began working in automotive I started noticing things shortly before I was diagnosed like I couldn't bend down to like appropriately lift a vehicle very easily so it became one of those hey man could you do me a favor can you help wreck this car mm-hmm you know hey could you do me a favor can you help me carry these things how like I know that you don't know exactly how much it weighs but if you were to give up all part like how much do you think you weighed when you were diagnosed with diabetes solidly into the mid 400s if not low 500 by then and so you start noticing that basically just everyday things are getting very very hard yeah and it that's one of those things that I talk about all the time when it comes to like the differences now versus when I was at my heaviest like I remember when I was at my heaviest I I didn't even like to bend down and tie my shoe like I it's not that I didn't like it I couldn't write so I would I would put my shoe on my lap tie it and then just slip my foot inside of it and it's crazy like the fact that you were doing this job like working on cars like that does require some sort of some form of mobility did anything ever go through a head where you're like there's gonna be a point where I can can't do this anymore way in the back of my head there was a point where it's like you're gonna get to a point where you're not gonna be able to work on these cars and I refuse to let it like take me down like I was very adamant that I'm like no I can still do my job and even when I couldn't like the productivity of the shop would suffer because I couldn't do a routine job without having to stop and take a break you know it's funny you mentioned the thing about tying your shoes because I used to actually put my shoes on first and then put my pants on because I couldn't do both I couldn't do it the other way around I really I couldn't put my pants on and then physically lift my leg and tie my shoe like you tie just too tight too much like I had like this my pants were so big exactly yeah it's funny how it lights up little things like that like I one of the things that I say a lot is I wasn't living I was just existing and I think that what you're explaining is exactly that yeah like you you were literally just existing throughout your day and doing like for me I I don't know what why I was the way that I was as far as being so afraid of dying but like for some reason I was 20 when I started losing my weight right I was terrified of my weight taking my life like it was just it was in the back of my head constantly especially on the last year before I started losing weight like I was 19 literally being like I can't be alone because what if I have a heart attack you know and like that's no way to live you know and so for you what was the like when you how did you get diagnosed with diabetes did something happen I had a bit of a scare at work I couldn't regulate my my body temperature I kept getting really hot than really cold and I couldn't I don't really know how to describe what it what it felt like but it felt like I was just really sick I was extremely lethargic I felt like I couldn't feel anything I felt really really numb I ended up actually not passing out but I ended up falling asleep in my car for a few hours Wow and one of my co-workers came to check on me he goes you don't look really well man you should probably go to the doctor and I did I called off work the next day and I went to the doctor and they ran some blood work tests and he's like you know have you ever have you ever considered that you might be diabetic and I was like no no no I would haven't even ever been told that my blood work is fine you know and they did a few tests and sure enough he was like no you are you're diabetic no and so he's like your blood sugar is causing an issue and you need to regulate it so you need to get on a B and C medications and you need to monitor yourself daily and every regimen that goes with being a type 2 diabetic so so when you when you heard that you were diabetic like I know that you said you your whole life you had kind of your blood work always came back fine were you really that surprised I want to say yeah I want to say I was utterly shocked it did kind of feel like a certain defeat but I wasn't at all surprised given at the rate that I was gaining weight and the things that I were feeling that I was feeling it was one of those things where it was just like yeah that makes sense that makes sense given you know like the issues at work you know with with you know being able to keep up with the physical rigor of the job and you know the the small adaptations in your daily routine that you try not to notice that you sweep under the rug to try to like everything is fine it it made sense you know and it was like well what did you expect and so you said it kind of started spiraling out of control after you had found out that you were diabetic right so take me through that like what was going on that you kind of just packed on a bunch of weight really fast it was one of those things I think the worst part was when we were talking about you know eventually not being able to physically keep up with the rigors of that job I had left the company that I was working with and I went to shortly after being diagnosed with diabetes went to go work temporarily with another company and my feet would hurt and throb all day long and it wasn't just like Oh an achy foot thing it literally felt like I was on a bed of nails and it was extremely painful and I was like oh I just need new boots yeah three new boots later yeah that wasn't the boots it was my feet yeah I was there was the weight and so it was one of those things where I would go to the doctor I've got my feet are really hurting and so they would see my medical chart and they'd be like well you're a diabetic you know diabetic neuropathy and your feet is kind of a common thing you need to think about losing weight and so I didn't want I don't want to say that I wanted to reject that but I was a bit annoyed by that because it's like well I've been heavy all my life why is this just happening now and it was it was one of those things were the rational and the emotional part of my brain were struggling to synchronize themselves like you need to understand that now you have a medical condition and now you are heavier than you've ever been and I still didn't know how much I weighed then because even when I was diagnosed with diabetes they still couldn't tell me how much I weighed mm-hm so I left that company that I was working for in the interim and I went to go work for a major automotive corporation and I was about a year into that job when they noticed my boss at the time was noticing that there was a work performance issue I could get the work done I was very knowledgeable and skilled it just didn't get done very fast because I had to stop and break a lot so he said look you have a way with people and you obviously have a lot of automotive knowledge you've been in the business for over a decade have you thought about transitioning into management and that was both a good thing and a bad thing I transitioned into management I learned a new skill sets I took on a whole new level of stress but you know it was also you know it wasn't I it wasn't a step backwards it was a lateral move that eventually moved me up but physically it was extremely detrimental because you're now not moving as much and that is when the weight really started to come on so you moved up in like two ways yeah yeah no but it's it's crazy how you don't realize even even though it's like what you were doing you had to take all those breaks like you you weren't moving as fast as the other people like that still was helping you keep weight off in some capacity right like it was it was holding that huge just fluctuation of weight off yeah and then so now you you're working as like a manager well are you just kind of just sitting all day is that kind of what happened see and that's the thing is that an automotive manager is not supposed to be sitting all day but I was I should also add that one of the things that I was allegedly using to keep help keep the weight off was I was a hard smoker for about ten years so when I would get hungry I'd be like yeah here's my diet have a cigarette it curbs your appetite yeah well when you quit and you don't address the mental issue that dealt with that addictive behavior you substitute one thing for another I substituted food in every way imaginable and the other thing that made me have to also transition into automotive what learn to management role in automotive was actually something that was really embarrassing that happened at work thankfully there was only one person who saw it happen I bent down to lift up a truck and now normal person should be able to out stretch a leg lift their arm and do that yeah well when you're tipping the scales at almost 600 at that point you know you you can't do that so I had to lay on my side and lift the truck and I couldn't get back up like I could not yeah it was one of those you've ever seen a turtle on its back that's what I looked like I get a laugh about it now because it was pretty funny to imagine but at that point in time I literally sat there collecting my thoughts like how am I gonna get off this floor and a guy comes up and goes you good and I'm like yeah no I'm fine I'm all that way taking a nap just yeah I'm just I'm just collecting my thoughts for a second you go about your business I had to literally find a way to roll on to my like stomach get on to my knees and crawl about 15 feet to a chair to lift myself back gosh because I at that point it hadn't really clicked in like this is a lot of weight to move from a floor position yeah so I was like great like I'm gonna need help getting up if I can't figure this out it was extremely embarrassing but it was also a huge shock like yeah you can't do that again mm-hmm so it was that kind of like the moment yeah that was pretty much the moment where I was on the fence about taking a management position and that tipped me literally over that fence I was like no you need to you need to do this or you're gonna end up losing your job mm-hmm you know you take the management position you you end up getting to your heaviest weight what what is the thing that made you decide I'm gonna start losing weight so I had tried a couple times before um I don't know if it was the new insurance I had but I finally got into a doctor who had a bariatric scale and I weighed in at 570 pounds so with the insurance plan I had I said hey I talked to my primary and that's like hey you know you already obviously see my comorbidities here I want to look into you know losing weight and I tried natural waist first I tried you know home health kits I tried you know eating you know like the Atkins diet I've tried a lot of different things except for you know like what actually ended up working so after I tried and failed I would lose 2030 pounds and I would get discouraged I looked into bariatric surgery I had originally looked at it back in like 2011 when the Lap Band was really coming out but you know the circumstances never gave and now obviously I'm glad they didn't but I looked into bariatric surgery the gastric bypass and I I got linked up with a doctor who said okay get down to this way and we should be able to do the surgery so he said get down to 500 pounds year 5-7 you get down to 500 I got down to about 530 I got discouraged I had a slip up on food and ended up gaining weight at one of the last weigh-ins and so I got discouraged and I stopped mm-hmm that was I want to say 2016 around then and then I tried again the following year and so I got down to 520 and I told him a man 20 more pounds and we got this right and he goes well and I was like no don't you well me sir don't you well me yeah I almost died trying to keep this weight off and so he's like well we may need to get you down into the mid 400s maybe even less than that you got to realize this is a lot of weight and then came the and that that particular moment I want to say crushed my world pretty hard I got into my car after that appointment and I sat there for what felt like an eternity and I was like it was at that moment where I felt like I accepted my defeat hmm I was just like that's it it's not gonna happen it's not gonna happen for someone like me and I relinquished any and all thoughts of losing weight again and I ballooned past the 570 into the 600 range yeah it was pretty bad I stopped caring you know it was one of those things where I sought comfort through food mm-hmm I I don't think it's an exaggeration to say now that I know about the nutritional content of food and the you know the proprietary factors of macronutrients that I was probably eating in excess of 10,000 calories a day there's no doubt like no and it that's the thing that's so true and I'm glad that you you can like you and you notice that now because the truth is like if you are that large you there's you're not just that big because of your eating a little bit over yeah you are eat and it becomes normal like yeah you these habits build over time and then all of a sudden you're like wow I'm drinking you know 3000 calories worth of soda every day and it's just like I don't even think you signing you don't even think about it you know you know you can't around a two-liter now I have a question so you're you're talking about the weight-loss surgery and you said yourself like you had lost like a good chunk of weight to even get the surgery right to even try and get it so when when that's happening I'm just curious because obviously I never had the surgery and I think that so I'm curious like and a lot of people they think that just getting a surgery is like the easy way out which I definitely don't believe that especially with someone that's you know 600 pounds like that something has to happen there yeah but I'm just curious because you did obviously lose something like 80 pounds on your own what's going through your head that's kind of saying I still need the surgery right because you're obviously able to lose that weight why is it not instead of well I'll just continue losing weight this way why is it I still need to get the surgery um one of the biggest issues that I had to deal with was the fact that I had massive hunger pangs and a lot of it was just I wasn't very nutritional or conscientious when it came to food so you know the the fact that they would say you know for one that having that surgery would temporarily eliminate your hunger pang was a huge thing for me it sounded good yeah you know because it's it's really difficult and even like the other thing was for example I was told that you would not be able to reverse diabetes you know just because of the hypoglycemic factor the way you know the way everything works with that I was told that that was never going to be an option so there was that and there was also the fact that I needed to lose weight given my comorbidity factor and the fact that I had not just regular like like there is a regular sleep apnea right not not just regular sleep apnea super sleep I had like I had like don't you dare fall asleep anywhere sleep apnea without a machine because that's so scary yeah it was it was one of those things where I had issues to the point where I wasn't able to sleep in my bed for years because I had to sleep on a couch or recliner because I couldn't sleep laying down I had to be laying yeah because I felt like I would gasp for air so I needed I needed pretty much emergency intervention at 600 and at 611 pounds I could not function I was practically sedentary the only reason I still had a job was because I was really good with customers so excuse me it was one of those things where I I didn't have the luxury of time yeah to say like I have a couple years to lose this weight it was one of those I probably wouldn't have made it to this year no see that and that that's such a good point like I've always people asked my opinion on surgery and I I've always said I think that it should be the last option right like there are so many things that do work yeah but like if surgery like for you you're a perfect example of it was either that or death basically as morbid as that might sound like that's the truth you know I'm actually you know the funny part about the morbid thing is there was actually a point after realizing that I wasn't gonna get the surgery where I spiraled pretty bad and it actually happened here at the beach we we were me and my family we're gonna go to the beach and we had we had my daughter with me and we walked what I can probably now consider maybe 250 feet yeah from like the parking lot to the edge of the water which is a marathon uh well I got there uh-huh and I was like yeah double I couldn't be doubled over cuz I would topple over so I'm like holding onto my back like I'm pregnant like you know and my daughters playing on the water and then she stops dead track so she goes daddy are you okay she's four yeah she's four years old and she's worried about the look on her father's face and because I'm both in extreme pain gasping for air sweating and not entirely sure how I'm gonna get back to you know the car so played with her for all of about five seconds and said I have to get back to the car and I didn't know that I could make it by the time I got back to like the concrete I had to like sit on something my head was pounding so hard it was such an excruciating pain that I honestly felt like my head was gonna crack and it's crazy because just to say again all you did was walk 250 feet yeah like granite in sand is a little bit harder but still like it was packed that is crazy man yeah like and it but again it's like it becomes people's lives like you really you really are trapped in this version of yourself because I'm sure you knew that this was in there yeah you know but it's like I can't I can't find him you know and so you know all that stuff goes on you you eventually do get the surgery right so how did you how did that finally happen for you so after that moment where I just said that's it I literally started just kind of spiraling and like depression I didn't want to go anywhere I actually as morbid as it sounds started calling funeral places cuz I was like you know I have good life insurance you know anything happens I want to make sure I'm not a burden to my family I started calling and game prices on cremation and funeral services and stuff and I emailed my family and I emailed my friends and I was like I just need you guys to know that these are my wishes this is what I want to happen and everybody went into panic mode they're like what is going on and my friends were like listen we've already had in our network of friends two people will take their own life and I'm like I'm not suicidal I'm just I'm just trying to be really trying to be realistic here and they're like you need to get help so I sought help from a therapist that specializes in morbid obesity and behavioral eating and I began before surgery was even put back on the table I began seeing her in April of 2018 and that honestly helped a lot more in as far as preparing me for the things that were to come because we addressed underlying issues like me using food as a repression and as having an addictive personality mm-hmm so we talked about things like transfer addiction eating your feelings coping mechanisms and cognitive behavioral therapy so that helped me we started talking about things like logging food and understanding that you know you have to find another way another outlet to express your feelings that don't revolve around comfort of food so we address things like self care and maintenance and putting yourself first and a couple months after that you know she she had broached the subject again like have you thought about the surgery and I told her yeah was with such-and-such doctor and this is what happened and so she looked at my insurance and she goes you do realize you have more than one option right and so I started calling I had a list of 20 doctors that she put together for me Wow but based on my weight and my comorbidities a lot of them were just like oh I don't know and so I got down to is it okay to give names yeah yeah yeah I got I got down to old Delmar surgical hmm dr. Sunil Boyle and I called and at that point I was already irritated I'm like looking you guys operate on fat people or not I was literally just like the lady was taken back she goes um that's kind of what we do yeah that's kind of our profession so she set me up with an appointment and at that point I wasn't expecting much I was expecting a oh you're a big guy you know they're like yeah it's crazy to think that you got to a point where you were too big to get weight-loss surgery yeah that's wild to think about oh no it's it's it is wild to the point where I was just like maybe I should audition for my 600 pounds I'm not so it so I talked to the doctor and this is how you this is the minute I met him this is how I knew and even then I was very skeptical this is how I knew it was gonna be different he came in for a what doctor ever hugs you unless you're dying like and for all purposes in ten days you know but he was like you know he was like thank you for trusting me with this he's like this is a very big thing for you and this is gonna change your life and so he looks at my stats and he goes so you've tried a couple times before walked me through that and I told him what happened and the first thing he says goes well that's stupid if you could get down to 400 pounds on your own you wouldn't need me and I'm like well yeah it's kind of what I was saying yeah and you know and so you know he looked at the comorbidity and everything and he goes hey um I do need you to lose some weight but I'm not gonna dangle a carrot in front of you he goes get down to 550 you're 611 right now get down to 550 I'll do your surgery I got down to 560 and then he goes well I don't see the reason and postponing it any longer I'm just gonna get you on the schedule now because between now and the liquid diet you're gonna get it I seriously sat in my car and I could not believe that I had just had that appointment and it was actually happening yeah so I had the surgery in August of 2018 that's not an easy process I'll tell you that right now anybody that thinks like oh this is as the simplified version of you know dropping weight rapidly or what people would say like the easy way out because there is that stigma there there's this is the easy way it is not I I can I mean pain aside because any surgery is gonna have discomfort and pain and you know and you know issues with that it's it's not easy you're learning to use your body in a completely different way it's not just the fact that you have to address your eating habits because the surgery is just a tool if you continue to eat the way you did before even with the dietary restriction or like the physical restriction you're not going to be very successful so I had to recondition my body to understand that I couldn't eat the same way I did before buffets were a thing of the past ya know and and somewhere around month 2 I got a little bit of buyer's remorse because I was like man I'm never gonna be able to go to the casino and eat at a buffet yeah yeah you know that quickly went away I was like well you know what what surgery did you get the gastric bypass so that was probably the the biggest life-saving thing that's ever happened for someone like me because it really between that and then taking up you know the nutritionists advice and my therapist advice of diet and exercise and monitoring my food you know you're learning things again for the first time so it's not as simple as you know just modifying things it takes a lot of effort and conditioning and you have to basically retrain yourself on how to you know how to use your body the right way no yeah man I mean I think it's it's insane like huh so how you 385 pounds man and do you like now that you've gotten down to where you are now do you ever think about you know who you are in the past and like where you were and like does it ever just kind of like blow your mind that you yeah cuz like even even myself I've seen no joke thousands of before and afters yours truly just blows me away cuz you look like a completely different person and you look like you've lost like 20 years to like it looks like you are 20 years younger now than you were at your your heaviest like you've literally saved your life yeah you know like you were at the point where it's like that you said that year you probably were gonna pass away yeah and like now you're you're gonna live for many many more years most likely you know and so like what does that feel like you know and you have a kid to like yeah it's it's I mean honestly there are still some days work I will do a double take when I pass a mirror hmm and it's not like a who's that it was like like who is that guy what what just happened here you know and it's and it's because you know there are things when you're heavier that you know and and you lose an exorbitant amount of weight that you will never take for granted again so things like walking mm-hmm being able to you know do certain things in the privacy of your own bathroom unassisted you know things like breathing you know or laying on a bed or being able to go on a vacation yeah you know without worrying about am I gonna be able to like fit on a plane or something these are things that you would take for granted that I you know would never take for granted again because those were things that I was like this is never gonna happen so yeah I look back sometimes I don't like it is really mind-blowing you get so caught up in the journey sometimes that you forget that like pause and reflect back and so sometimes I'll catch myself looking at old pictures and old videos from like 2017 2016 because those were the times where I was at my heaviest and I was like wow that feels like a lifetime ago but in reality it's only been a couple of years yeah you know and so it's it's it's absolutely mind-blowing to me and I'm extremely grateful and those are the ones that honestly are the biggest motivators for the days where I just I'm not feeling and you know because you get wrapped up in your journey in the day to day is sometimes you forget to realize that you've actually made huge strides mm-hmm and sometimes I'm just like well my body's not where I want to be you know or this is not where I want to be or this is not where I want to be but it's like but look at where you were hmm you know compared to where you are now yeah I mean I completely agree with that like one of the things people always ask me about is like my loose skin yeah and they're like oh like do you ever regret having loose skin like man if you understood how like limited my life was at my heaviest and like how much my weight really did limit me like this Lucy game at is nothing like it is not an issue to me you know and like again everyone has different opinions on their own their skin and like if someone wants to get surgery go for it I have like seriously go for it but it's like for that to be a it the comparison is just silly to me you know like the weight versus the skin it the the skin will take it every single time you know what's funny about that is I was actually at chick-fil-a getting getting one of their diet lemonade's because that stuff was good and the the girl that was serving me she handed me my lemonade and then she went off to the side I was grabbing a straw she goes hey I just wanted to congratulate you on the weight loss and I'm like looking at her and I'm like how does she even figure that out and of course you forget you know you have bat wings so you know I just got out of the gym and so she's like how much have you lost and I told her and she was like wow and she was she was a little on the heavier side and she goes I've thought about losing weight and like you know doing something about it and she said that and it just killed me because she was like I'm afraid of the loose skin and I told her I'm like don't be I will take loose saggy skin and looking at that in the mirror every day over the life I had which was not a life at all my life yeah and it's crazy like as cheesy as it sounds I've always said like loose skin is like a battle scar like that just her seeing that and she obviously was able to connect that okay he's lost weight like you probably inspired that girl because you got a dial emanate like because she just saw your body and was like that he's obviously done an amazing thing and like obviously yeah there's days where the loose skin will bother me more than others but it's like at the end of the day man all it is is a byproduct of the hard work I've put in yeah period you know so yeah I mean it's it's like you said I'll take this any day of the week I'd rather I'd rather look like a deflated Michelin Man okay then then to have like so much body weight that I can't do anything yeah so it's just like no man I'll take it any day that we there you go all right bro I just want to say thank you so much for for coming on Carlos said he's a very private person so we're not gonna be putting any Instagram or anything like that so and I honestly for me I think that's very cool he obviously just wanted to come on I asked him to be on the episode he obviously just want to come on to share his story there is no he's not trying to gain anything from that which i think is really really cool but again man I just want to say thank you I will ask you one last question sure man so if there's someone that's at your position where you were your heaviest what advice are you giving to that person don't ever think that you can't get out of that situation no situation is hopeless and there's no situation that's untenable okay if I can lose 380 and I've been there it's not like a celebrity standpoint saying like oh you know you can do it no I have been there I've planned my own funeral I've accepted the fact that I was gonna die at a young age and that my daughter was gonna walk me down the aisle not the other way around you can do this and you reach out to a strong enough network of people and you can get help whether you want to do it on your own naturally whether you want to do it with surgery whether you want to do it you know with any kind of a modified diet you can do this with or without help but it can be done it's not an impossible feat you can do it awesome man yeah you're never too far gone no you're not awesome man thanks dude yeah thanks man all day the warning signs and when there are flashing lights or wig legs don't attempt to cross until they come to a complete stop
