I knew that I hadn’t been taking care of myself, but this was the most unpleasant wake-up call of my life. I didn’t know if I could change my fate, but I vowed to try.

It felt like the ultimate betrayal when the 190-something pound body that I had come to love and feel beautiful in started to melt away.
