<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

5 years ago I was 5'8 and weighed 210 pounds. With a BMI of 31.9, I had a ton of body image issues, low self confidence, and low self esteem. It was a low point in my life. After years of lifting and gaining and losing weight, I weigh 175 pounds today (I'm still 5'8 for those wondering) and I am close to finally getting a 6-pack.

Today, my family was late to a reservation at a restaurant in Epcot at Disney World and asked me to run ahead and check it. I sprinted across Epcot, from the monorail to Italy world, and made it in 7 minutes. Being able to do that and be the reliable guy was a great feeling. 

After checking in at the restaurant (I was hot and sweaty at that point), I went outside to cool off and decided to take off my shirt, which is something I would never have done before today. I was cooling off and a ton of the girls that walked by were checking me out! That was a great feeling. 

The confidence I've gained from treating my body well has paid off in many aspects of my life, but what I've learned from this is that ANYONE CAN DO IT. 

It's taken me years of persistence but if you have the heart and you are committed to making a change, you can absolutely do it. Commit to losing weight, commit to making yourself better, and commit to taking your life into your own hands. 

You're in control of your destiny and if you work for something hard enough, you will achieve it. 

I've failed so many times that I've lost track. I've lost weight and put it right back on. I've been discouraged and been defeated just by looking at myself in the mirror. The trick is just staying with it. You can do it. I promise you. 

Go after it and don't ever look back.
<bot>: I took off my shirt after running in public and girls were checking me out. I failed a bunch of times but I kept persisting. If I can do it, so can you.
