Doing this for my mom

Something that is really motivating me is not wanting to end up like my mom. It’s a hard reality, but now at 31 I see myself heading to be just like her.

She died at age 48 of a massive heart attack. She did not take care of herself and was morbidly obese, nearing 400 pounds at death. She had uncontrolled hypertension, high cholesterol, angina, sleep apnea, type II diabetes, liver disease...all the same things I struggle with now.

It’s time to rewrite history, commit to a healthier lifestyle, and do this in her honor.

I have too much life to live to not do this.
