This is my story
about 5 years ago I started to loose my memory. I got depressed and I started to eat. Until a month ago no one had figured out why I started to loose my memory. I was always a big guy but I as you can see below I got really big. About 2 years ago I got a headache that would not go away. For a year I lived with it. The doctors tried to prescribe stuff for it but nothing helped. I got to the point were I wanted to die. I was in agony and I didn’t think It would end. About 11 months ago I was convinced by my doctor that I had to loose weight. I was a prime candidate for a heart attack and apparently I was pre diabetic. He also believed that my memory would keep getting worse if I did not.
I actually went home and told my wife our doctor was a hippie. When my mother in law found out about what the doctor recommended she convinced me that it couldn’t hert anything. If you have ever had a mother in law you know one thing....you listen to her. So I went for a walk. I could only walk for 5 minutes at a time. I had to stop and rest. It hurt my back so much. But after the walk for the first time in a year I felt a small amount of relief. That may not sound like a lot but its what started me on the path to changing my life. Its funny I remember going to the beach to walk along the peer. I literally had to stop at every second bench to sit. 5 minute walks became 10, 10 became 20, 20 became 40, and before I knew it I was going to the gym. I at first only stayed for 30 minutes but I walked there mostly uphill the 40 minutes before. I even swam some days. My pain kept getting better and better.
Needless to say I kept progressing. I currently go 5 days a week 2 to 5 hours a day and work very part time. My back is still a little bad but my headache is almost completly gone. I had to go through agony but I am almost at my goal. I started at 386 pounds and as of today I am 230 pounds. My goal weight is 200 pounds.
I have even tracked all this on youtube cause I wanna show people with chronic pain that they can do this they can loose weight. They can change there lives.
This is the most recent pic I have. It is me at 386 vs 240...I hope to get a more recent one soon as 10 pounds makes a big difference.
