I once weighed over 430 pounds. Bad choice after bad choice and I knew I was killing myself, yet somehow I kept eating poorly and excessively. I found pleasure in food, so I enjoyed having it! Friends and family pushed me and kept telling me to lose weight for my own good, but it would go in one ear and out the other! A girl dumped me over my weight, I was breathing heavily simply sitting down! I had sleep apnea and used to doze off anywhere I sat down (Yes, sometimes including while driving). I wasnt able to do activities that regular-sized people dont even have to think about twice to do, such as going for a hike, riding a roller coaster, buckle the seat belt in an airplane, or even go to the mall to shop for clothes! A couple years later and about 70 pounds away from my high school weight, Im still not happy where I am. but I am positive Ill continue to lose weight! I know that because I have not gone to the gym yet. All my weight loss came from making healthier eating choices! Not a single minute have I spent at the gym to work any of the weight off! Im not perfect either! I still eat crap food here and then. Im just focused on being healthier now. I want to (and Im going to) have a successful future in photography! Im going to start hitting the gym and hope that I still have muscle memory back from my football/basketball/volleyball and BMXing days in High School! Im excited of the dramatic change I should see on my body after just a few months going consistently to the gym! My body has not completely healed from the damage I did to it over the last few years, but I know it will! I will soon be the best me I have ever been!
