Ethan Supleeis remembering a time when “the whole world was an impossibility.”
“Conquering all of it is still impossible, so I’m just concentrating on today,” Suplee, who celebrates his 47th birthday on Wednesday, wrote.
“If today becomes too much, I will focus on right now,” Suplee continued. “Right now, I’m OK, I will beat right now.”
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.”
Suplee previously revealed that his highest weight was 536 lbs., and had to get weighed on a “freight scale [at a shopping center] because back then there weren’t scales that really went that high in doctor’s offices.” He’s since toldMen’s Healththat he lost 250 pounds and hit his goal of registering 9% body in October 2021.
To Suplee, 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.”
