“Either lose weight or die.” How a blogger lost 77 kg, found himself and became famous

John David Glod made a name for himself by losing weight from 163 to 86 kilograms. He became a megapopular blogger and coach, his Instagram account has more than 400 thousand followers, and his YouTube channel has almost 650 thousand followers. 10 million people have watched his most popular video so far. How did the guy manage to do this? He does not hide anything and honestly talks about the fears, worries and difficulties he faced on the way to a relief body.

“I realized that I was either going to lose weight or die at the age of 35.”

John has been obese since he was a child. But while he was a cute little chubby kid in kindergarten, his weight only increased over the years, and reached a terrifying 163 pounds after high school.

At some point, I started making jokes about myself so that others wouldn’t do it. It worked, but my self-esteem was below the plinth.

Triple chin, ungirthy belly and stumpy legs – the guy just couldn’t look at himself without disgust and tried not to leave the house unnecessarily. In his free time, Glod sat on the couch eating chips and drinking soda. He hated himself and his body, but saw no way out of the vicious circle. The blogger confesses that he was absolutely miserable and lived a life that was not his own. He felt trapped in a “fat version of himself” and sometimes sobbed at night.

That all changed one night when John was watching television as usual. On a popular TV show, Glod saw a guy who had managed to lose serious weight. The program was not about weight changes at all, and about tattoos, but the story hit the teenager alive. The hero from the screen said that you need to exercise every day and figure out your diet. In general, simple truths: if you want to change something, you have to plow to achieve the goal.

I realized that I was either going to lose weight for myself or die of obesity at 35. I was scared, but I kept repeating to myself: I’m going to try, I’m going to do my best, because there’s nothing else I can do.

John didn’t shop for diet pills or apply for reality shows where obese people try to get slimmer. He didn’t save up money for liposuction. He chose the hard, but the right way. By the way, this was not Glod’s first attempt to get rid of excess weight. Previous endeavors ended in failure, barely begun. But, apparently, this time the cup of patience overflowed, and the guy realized that he would not give up.

How John Glode came to popularity?

He never thought about starting a personal blog and sharing his transformation journey, but John’s example inspired his friends. In addition, he had already gained a lot of experience in training and started working as a coach in the very fitness center where he started to lose weight. Then the guy realized that he could help not only himself and his friends, but also thousands of other people from different countries. He started an Instagram account dedicated to sports and weight loss, and then created a YouTube channel.

Glod’s popularity came literally overnight. He lost weight, pumped up his muscles, but nothing could help him from one problem – sagging skin. And John was embarrassed of it: he tried not to wear shorts, did not take off his shirt on the beach. Then the blogger decided to overcome this fear and showed his body with hanging skin to the whole world.

When we finished filming, my friend who was behind the camera was crying. I published the video and it went viral. In that moment, my life changed.

The video can be seen on the ObesetoBeast YouTube channel.

John started getting invited to television appearances where he shared his story. He soon realized he wanted to do this for a living. Then came the idea of becoming a bodybuilder and competing in competitions. And then Glod got into Crossfit and learned how to eat right, without obsessing over calorie counting. And most importantly, he not only became happy, but also found the meaning of life, inspiring others.

I became who I am, and I’m proud of myself. If you really want to, you can achieve amazing results!
