I am a former 343 lb beauty; I had long given up my dreams because of my size, my insecurity, and the fear of judgment. I was even afraid to see the doctor but when my knees started hurting, I had to see one. He told me that I would only have 6 months to walk. That moment was life changing; it was the turning point of my weight battle.
On my first day at the gym, a fellow member told me that I had no right to be in the gym; that I don't belong there. I told myself that I will prove this person wrong. Overcoming my weight battle is like winning back my life, it felt like having a second life.
I hope that my story will inspire a lot of people. I am a very private person, but I would like to encourage others to give workout and nutrition a try.
