500lbs (226kg) in 2020 started losing weight and last year was one of the most fulfilling in my adult life. Cycling, kayaking, fishing and camping.
One year ago today at 320lbs I was pedestrian hit and run walking home late at night alone. compound fractured my right leg, facial fractures and bleeding on the brain. Remember getting off the light rail in my neighborhood then waking up in the hospital.
My very first thought in the ICU was that I was going to gain weight as I recovered and certainly wasn’t going to lose any. Weighed 340lbs by December and had a hard conversation with myself About how much and what I was eating.
This last year has been one of the most difficult in my entire life but I can never go back to living that way. 250lbs today getting close to my goal for my height of 6’ 4”
Wasn’t going to let a pesky car keep me from being a man I can be proud of. Been on Reddit a long time and this sub helped me in my darkest days showed me that things can improve you can change even when life gets brutal.
