I've been trying to change the way I eat and my fitness level for about a month now.I am overweight and have something called acanthosis. Something that can cause dark circles around eyes, neck, elbows and so on. Well when I was looking in the mirror today the darkness on my neck is almost all GONE! I was so happy and it made me realize that this change I'm making should also be about my health and not just appearance.

That's fantastic, I have the same problem it wasn't until my husband went to Med School, until I started taking things more seriously. I know how it feels to have what I call " The black neck" I'm always wearing clothes with collars and never wear anything above my elbows or knees. But since I have been losing weight the dark spots have been getting much lighter and it feel great.
I know that Acanthosis can be genetically inherited and is associated with obesity.; and there is plenty of that in my family.
So, I'm on a journey of BEATING THE ODDS!! I don't want to die young, but I want to enjoy my life.
I have to admit getting healthy does have its perks, more energized, better sleep and most of all Appearance change.. This is what I love about it the most.

I'm really happy for you! Keep up the good work!
