There is no denying the fact that in comparison to the older generations, the younger generation is more aware about the importance of fitness and keeping themselves in shape. Being fit is a regular process and an individual constantly needs to focus on his/her exercise as well as diet regime to keep the body in a great shape.
However, there are times when the person who is undergoing the fitness regime gets bored or lacks motivation to carry on further. During this period, stories of those who have transformed their lives by constantly working hard without stopping before achieving their aim serve as motivation. Today we are going to tell you about one such person who has turned out to be so dashing after losing weight that people have started calling him a Disney Prince.
Jeffrey Kendall, the 26 years old resident of Connecticut, was over-weight, unemployed and depressed 2 years ago. In fact, he told that as the winter and holidays came, he started gaining weight and then in the beginning of 2016, Jeffrey’s weight was all-time high while his self-esteem and self-respect were all-time low.

Jeffrey has been an overweight youngster and all his life, he has been facing issues related to body-image and confidence. He was also bullied because of his weight which further had an adverse impact on his self-esteem. School authorities should make sure that no kid gets body-shamed as the scars of such incidents never get wiped off.

On July 4, 2015, Jeffrey’s mother suffered a brain aneurysm and this was when he came to take care of her. Jeffrey told that for 7 months, his mother was in coma and rehab hospitals. The doctors felt that she reached a stage where there would be no improvement in her condition and the insurance would also not cover her anymore.

As Jeffrey was taking care of his sick mother, a friend of him who had a break-up and was very sad came to meet him and asked him to join the fitness regime. Initially, the friend wanted Jeffrey to help him in his workout but later on, the latter also got completely involved.

Jeffrey’s friend involved him in his exercise regime for assistance but no one knew that it was the beginning of a new life for Jeffrey. He walked on a new path that he never knew would change his life for better. He and his friend started with a light barbell workout along with few pushups every day.

As a result of work-outs, Jeffrey began to wake up earlier than before and go for morning walks. Later he indulged in jogging and then sprints as well. For 2 years, the guy maintained this healthy regime and his hard work indeed paid off as he lost 70 pounds, which is a milestone in itself.

Jeffrey surfed YouTube and found that it is a great source of free videos on work-out. Moreover, the fitness trainers or gurus not only teach about exercises and diet regime but also tell how to accept yourself the way you are and love yourself. This definitely boosts self-confidence, doesn’t it?

He is pretty impressed with Adriene whose Yoga videos teach yoga techniques as well as provide a great platform for self-love. Yoga has played an important part in Jeffrey’s incredible weight-loss journey and now it is a part of his daily routine.

Jeffrey says that healthy and good diet is absolutely necessary with work-out for losing weight. At the same time, he mentioned that motivating yourself for not eating a cookie is far easy than running a mile so a person should try to motivate himself/herself to eat healthy to stay fit.

As he gives a lot of importance to diet, it’s quite natural that he must be taking care of what he eats. He says that he is never strict about his diet but keeps a track of the calories that he intakes and lives life with a degree of moderation.

Jeffrey was habitual of late-night snacking which is a very bad habit and it increases a person’s weight. To control this habit, he started taking dinner a little later and hence, he was able to stop himself from having snacks late night. Jeffrey says that along with what you eat, when you eat is also important, so keep a check on both.

He also asked people to always love themselves. His post went viral and people started sending messages of support and love. Some of them even compared him with a Disney prince named Prince Adam from Beauty and the Beast. We have to admit that Jeffrey resembles a lot to that Disney prince. Agree?

Apart from Jeffrey’s facial features, people are also going crazy for his hair and asking which brand’s shampoo he uses in order to keep his hair so silky and free-flowing. In fact, few of them want him to be featured in a shampoo commercial as well. Great news, isn’t it?
