Darryl’s Inspirational Story

All my life I was on the heavier side. At times I would lose weight and then put it back on and go thru the roller coaster of weight loss. Finally at age 38 I was up to 445 pounds. That was the heaviest point of my life. I was in a size 60 pant and 6x shirts.

My youngest daughter told me she loved me, but I was getting a little big. I started thinking and wondered if I’d see 40. So, on September 29, 2010 I decided to take action. I cleaned out the fridge and went to shop for healthy foods. I stopped drinking pop, beer and eating fast foods.

In the first month I dropped almost 50 pounds. It felt so good!! I had to keep going. I joined the gym and started to work out to get myself fit. I had to buy smaller clothes…that was awesome.  By September 29 2011 I had lost 220 pounds, nearly half myself. All of this by just changing my diet and adding some exercise…..something anyone could do if they wanted. It seemed like a big challenge in the beginning, but over time I realized it was the best choice I have made in my life. I made this choice to see 40, for my girls, for my family, for my fiancé and for myself.

I now am a triathlete and active with many training groups. It was something I always wished to do and now it’s possible. What I did was very possible for anyone else to do also. It was a very simple life changing endeavor. Eat healthy, take advantage of the recreation available in our area and start to truly enjoy life.
