I have always been athletic, but always on the larger side of the spectrum. Once I hit 30,became even more lazy and got bigger,I didn't continue playing sports which I should have and I let stress rule my world I became depressed. I stopped taking care of myself. One day I woke up and I was 355 lbs. I went to a Dr.'s apt and I got really bad scary news, Dr. said that I was pre diabetic and so over weight that I could have a heart attack. I'm only 36 I thought I cant have this control my life. I've watched several family and friends die in less than 10 years for either poor health or avoided accidents.I will be changing careers and I will need to be in better shape, I knew it was time to transform my body into the temple it should have always been.
I feel good when I work out, all those endorphins going, my mind clearing and the stress release is just magical. I feel better I'm not Depressed, I look forward to working on something for myself, about myself. When I reach my goal I will be the person I should have always been.
