“Once the whole world was impossible. Conquering the world is always impossible, so I’m focusing on one day at a time,” he said in an Instagram post over the weekend.
“If it’s too much to think about all day, I focus on the present moment. Right now I’m in good shape and I can beat the present.”

Suplee regularly shares posts where he talks about his struggle to get in shape. He said he had an unhealthy relationship with food and started having seizures when he was just five years old. He managed to get so heavy that a traditional scale couldn’t weigh him, so he needed an industrial scale. For years he used food, alcohol and drugs to numb himself, but in 2002 a turning point came when he decided to put the cork in the bottle.
He says his wife, Brandy Lewis, inspired him. They first met as teenagers and became close friends. They met later in life and fell in love. In 2002, he had been fasting with Brandy for about a year.
“Then, for the first time in my life, I became interested in the future and I was able to experience it with her. Like being able to spend an entire day wandering around museums or taking trips, or doing hiking, which I physically couldn’t at the time,” he said in an interview with People last year.
“For the first time I wasn’t hearing serious concerns from anyone about my health, but she completely accepted me for who I was rather than what I looked like.” So I think that became the basis for me to achieve my goals.”
Suplee notes that the increased happiness he found today is not related to being lighter, but rather to having set goals and then achieving them. Sure, those are vain goals, but regardless, he’s never allowed himself such things in the past.
