My doctor told me that I needed to lose weight because my spinal cord can no longer take the strain caused by my heaviness. I would need to do something about my health if I intend to live a much longer life, and take away all the pain I am feeling. This was a major wake-up call, especially when I now need to make use of braces to lessen the strain on my back.

It was a difficult thing for me to accept. It was either I do something about it, or I would have to suffer the consequences. I would need to make sure that everything is going to be alright, and I would have to make some very difficult sacrifices. Hopefully, things will be better soon. All I need is discipline and the strength to endure all the things I must do starting today.
