My Name Is Earl star Ethan Suplee has posted a fresh update cataloguing his transformative health journey and whopping 134kg weight loss.
The 46-year-old actor, known for his role as Randy Hickey on the series, overhauled his lifestyle after struggles with secret eating saw him reach 243kg by the age of 24.
Ethan shared a throwback picture from 2001 comparing it to his current physique, writing, “Once upon a time, the whole world was an impossibility. Conquering all of it is still impossible, so I’m just concentrating on today.”
“If today becomes too much, I will focus on right now. Right now, I’m ok, I will beat right now.”
In previous posts, he explained, “It took many years for me to understand that in order to become a different person, many instances of small change were required, but that I wouldn’t understand them all on day one. That getting good at a single change might then require another change to bolster improvement.
“Self-improvement has no end and if I’m not working towards this in some way, I am in deterioration. I prefer getting better.”
Ethan Suplee has also documented much of his journey on his American Glutton podcast, and opened up to People last year about how his wife Brandy Lewis was the inspiration behind his weight loss journey.
As he explained at the time, his journey began in 2002 after seeing his now-wife for around a year. “I became, for the first time in my life, kind of interested in the future and having experiences with her,” he said. “Like spending a day walking around a museum or going on a trip or hiking that I just wasn’t physically able to do.”
Ethan told the publication that his happiness comes from “achieving goals.”
“I cannot say that actually losing weight has made me happier. I don’t think that’s true,” he told People last year. “I just think that achieving something I set out to achieve has given me this volume of happiness that is pretty great.”
