Today I witnessed a reunion of two 22 year old guys who met again for the first time since hanging out together when they were seventeen. My nephew (Paul) from Germany was obese when he started a one year student exchange program at a highschool near Seattle. He made a close friendship with Eric who was a very skinny guy at the time. They really connected and have kept in touch over the years but just saw each other for the first time in five years yesterday.
Now Paul is at his goal weight. He lost the weight three or four years ago, then gained some back but is again in top form this year. His friend Eric, in the meantime, joined a gym about a year ago, and liked it so much he decided to work there as the sales manager. He's gained 40 pounds and it looks like his weight gain is 100% muscle. They both look and feel fantastic. And after five years of not seeing each other they fell right back into their close friendship. They are very both highly ambitious and happy with their lives and it was great to see them today.
