Paolo Benjamin of the folk-pop band Ben&Ben recently shared an amazing milestone in his weight loss journey.
The lead vocalist and guitarist took to Instagram to share his before and after photos, which featured his toned body and defined abs.
"These pictures represent years of hard work and sacrifice," Paolo wrote in his post. "Today, I just wanted to celebrate this growth with all of you. Thanks for being there to cheer me on at my lowest moments. I hit my goal weight this week, finally."
Paolo went on to give words of encouragement to netizens who are also going through a similar period in their life.
"If you are on a path of growth, do it out of love for yourself and do it for the people you love," he said. "Never do it just to please others, because it will never be enough. You are enough."
He also values where he was before embarking on his weight loss journey.
"I also celebrate my stretch marks," he shared. "'Cause they're awesome. I also celebrate my past self, because he's awesome, too."
In his latest IG post, Paolo spoke about how he had to find balance by first addressing his deeper issues with his mind, emotions, and spirit.
"I realized that the moment you surrender your process, you'll find that you don't have to carry the burden on your own. You just have to keep choosing (or try to choose) to move forward every day, and the rest converges to allow you to succeed."
