I'm 25 years old, and I live at the beach. I have always been overweight, and I come from a long line of overweight family members. About a month ago, my father, who is 49, was hospitalized after having chest pains (he had a massive heart attack when he was 46). After several tests, he now has a defibrillator in his chest. After he visited the Doctor last week, its is believed that he has Congestive Heart Failure. This was a HUGE wake up call. I'm 25, and weigh 242 lbs, the heaviest in my life, and that could be me in a few years. I've come to the realization that I want to live a long and healthy life, without the medicines, and doctors. I can, thankfully, say that the only health problems I have are allergies and acid reflux, but I know thats not going to be the case here soon, if I do not start making smart choices and losing weight.
