One incredible man proved that kicking a bad habit can lead to more than just a better sense of self; Nuno Vieira's kicked vice earned him a championship title.
Vieira reportedly used to drink more than four liters of coke a day, according to MailOnline. When he turned 37, he says, he realized that his health and happiness had taken a nosedive. He weighed approximately 200 pounds and had become addicted to cola and junk food.
"I would not think about exercising as it was out of my comfort zone and didn't fit in with my lifestyle," he tells MailOnline. "I didn't have a care in the world, as I was enjoying my diet and not thinking about the consequences it was having on my health."
He decided to take action.
Over the next year, Vieira began to train in weightlifting — slowly transforming his body and finding his passion. He lost the weight and went on to compete professionally, even earning himself multiple championship titles. And he didn't stop there, either. Hoping to help others find their passion, he opened up his own Body Generation Fitness Gym in Norfolk, England.
"Never quit and always stay positive," he says, "as everything is achievable once your mind is set."

Nuno Vieira weighed nearly 200 pounds when he decided it was time for a change.
His addiction to cola had caused him severe weight gain and depression. He decided to turn things around.
He began bodybuilding as a form of exercise, and discovered it was his passion.
"I would not think about exercising as it was out of my comfort zone and didn't fit in with my lifestyle," he tells MailOnline. "I didn't have a care in the world, as I was enjoying my diet and not thinking about the consequences it was having on my health."
He lost the weight and went on to compete professionally, even earning himself multiple championship titles.
"I found it hard switching to water at first but then I was fine. Once I sweat in the gym from the cardio, I found my body craving water and didn’t even think about drinking anything fizzy."
He went on to open his own fitness center in Norfolk, England.
"Never quit and always stay positive," he says, "as everything is achievable once your mind is set."
