This is an amazing story. I believe living we owe to ourselves a healthy lifestyle to our body, but then again we have one life and sometimes we feel as if it is here to use and abuse. Although I am on ly 139 pounds, I can really say that I do not take very good care of my body in means of what I eat.
This 39-year-old auto insurance underwriter from Illinois lost 115 pounds all because one day at an amusement park he did not fit on one ride with his son: then he was determined. He had the right idea when he told himself how he was not trying to lose weight because he looked ugly, but because it got in the way and he realized how unhealthy he was living for himself and his family. This story touches me because my father does not take care of himself at all. He believes he eats too much but I just tell him it is all of the poison or alcohol he drinks and not enough exercise. John is an incredible cook and eats extremely healthy but then he'll wash it all down with yeast beer which is high in fat content. It is no drinking problem but he does not realize that if he quit or even cut down there would be signifcant wait loss for him. And the more important part is that it is not good for his health one bit!
