That is truly amazing, I love that you were inspired by the love of your wife.

Beautiful story!!!

DeliriumCanBeFun

I realized on March 22, 2012, that my unhealthy lifestyle was not only affecting me, it was affecting my wife. I attribute my faith in God to being the turning point in my life. I felt like God was revealing to me that I was being selfish and inconsiderate by continuing the habits that contributed to my morbid obesity. I was cheating years off of my life, but more importantly, I was cheating my wife of years off of our marriage. That morning I woke up with a new mindset- I was going to change my lifestyle so I could spend many more quality years with her, and I experienced the hope and passion I needed to do so.

You're story is amazing!!! So happy for you! I especially liked reading that you found your strength in God and the love of your wife.
