“Over the course of 10 months I lost 50 pounds from all the pain meds which prevented me from wanting to eat and I was nauseous all the time,” Tarek wrote. “I remember those days...in this photo I'm pale white....eyes are black.... and I was 169 pounds!! My clothing didn't fit and it looks like I'm wearing drapes!”
“This photo is a reminder than anything is possible with hope. While I went through this it was the first time in my life I wanted to quit!” Tarek admitted. In the summer of 2016, Tarek was spotted leaving his family home with a gun, alarming his wife Christina, who called the cops. Months later, the couple announced their split.
“Thank god I didn't...or I wouldn't be standing tall today!! Reminder everyone, anything is possible! You just have to believe! T,” Tarek finished.
