Wellness Wins is an original Yahoo series that shares the inspiring stories of people who have shed pounds healthfully.
After countless tries and failures, I thought I was destined to be fat my whole life. I was at a terrible place in life. I was heartbroken and sleeping on my parents’ floor because I was thrown out by my girlfriend. I had just started a new job so I had very little money at the time, and just had a terrible attitude about everything.
I also started to work out at least five times a week, even if I had to make up a workout because I wasn’t around a gym while traveling for work. One time, I found an old tire in a field by my hotel and used it for a workout, picking it up and running up and down the parking lot, doing as many pushups with it on my back as I could — anything I could do to get my heart pumping.
After seeing my progress and having people tell me how good I looked, I knew there was no way I was ever going to give up. I didn't want to have the health problems I saw my mom going through.I feel great. I know I still have a little way to go, but I know I’m going to be successful. I am way more confident. Many people have told me that I smile more and I’m always laughing and happy. I feel like I can carry on a conversation with anyone now because of the confidence boost.
