Lost 60 Pounds, Gained a Reason to Live
Not trying to be dramatic but getting my weight under control actually saved my life. Started at 285, I'm at 225 now and still going. My dad died at 58 from a heart attack and I was heading down the same road. My kids were 4 and 7 when I finally snapped and decided enough was enough. Hit the gym, cut the junk food, started running. That was 2 years ago. Now I can actually play tag with my kids without getting winded. I can hike. I can do things I told myself I couldn't do anymore. The weird part is I don't feel like the same person but also like I finally found the real version of myself that I was hiding under all that weight and depression. Miss the convenience of drive thrus though not gonna lie.
