The 4 pillars of health are: 1. Nutrition; you can't outrun a bad diet. 2. Exercise; your body is designed to move, so you should move it in a significant way each day. 3.Stress Management; Stress is a killer, so learn to manage your stress. 4. Sleep; your body repairs and cleanses itself when you sleep. Get good sleep.

I was always a bigger kid. In high school I was on the cusp of getting a college offer to play football. As a lineman, being big was a goal. The shot at playing in college slipped through my fingers and I was sitting there at 6’4 295lbs. Once football wasn’t in my life I was able to tread water and not gain too much weight until I hit a point in my life where I spiraled. I was addicted to drugs, my confidence was in the toilet and I got up to 380lbs. After a few years of living like that, I got a job that required me to walk about 7 miles every day and through that I lost 25 pounds in a month. That momentum that I had unintentionally gained showed me that I was capable of getting my health in order and after that I just didn’t give up from there. Today I’m 245lbs, for the first time in my life I actually like the way I look and it’s done wonders for my mental health. I apologize for making this comment so long. I just wanted to share my personal experiences to preface my main point that fat acceptance is evil. Encouraging people to destroy themselves is evil. You don’t have to be a marathon runner, but you can build a healthier lifestyle. Keep pushing.

When truth becomes offensive, you know comfort has replaced honesty.

I was 275lbs at only 5’7”. Went to a nutritionist and they told me that I was healthy lol. Went a different route and I’m down almost 100lbs and feel fantastic.
@PolishBigfootCircle11
I was 275 lbs. I was a big-back, fat-f*ck. I spent 18 months on Keto, with two cheat days in that time frame. 3 years later, I've kept the weight off, and I'm healthier than anyone else in my family. Edit: I officially lost 100lbs, but 175 was to small, and hard to maintain, so now I float around 185 Edit: I am no longer on Keto. I now count calories and prioritize protein. I also work out 3-4 days a week.

“You don’t work out because you hate your body, you workout because you love it” I love this statement!!!never really thought about it like this.
@stevestudley5685
I was obese with high blood pressure, pre diabetic, fatty liver disease, sleep apnea, and gastritis. It took me 17 months to get to my optimal weight. I no longer take any medication, and I got my life back. If you're obese, medications are no way to live your life. You will be metabolically unhealthy.
@TheFlyingCougar
It is wild how almost overnight it became acceptable in many circles again to acknowledge that being overweight is not healthy as soon as they released an injection that can male you lose weight with little to no effort.

Had a crush on Jillian growing up & was more devastated to find out she was a lesbian than I was when I found out wrestling was fake and Santa was my dad.

I live in Australia and every time I go to the states (which is 5 months of the year) I eat the same diet and gain weight. Also, I feel like an addict when I eat simple things like yogurt, I can’t stop eating the yogurt or anything else, there are definitely ingredients in them that make you an absolute savage addict, it’s actually crazy the difference!
@professional.commentator
I remember when the Supersize Me movie was promoted in schools and showing the dangers of being overweight. Crazy how much has changed in the last 20 years.
@HarmlessComment
I was fat most of my life, the shaming never motivated me. What motivated me was seeing my sister almost die because of her weight. The ironic thing is my sister never went to doctors because she was embarrassed of her weight and thought they would shame her. While in the hospital everyone was nice to her, no one shamed her and they helped her instead with therapy, nutrition classes and medications. Shame doesn't usually work the way people think it does.

@jefffiore7023
People caring about me and conveying that I was literally morbidly obese in my twenties was largely the agent of change I needed to rectify it; I’m 31 and feel better than I did at 18 and am down 154 pounds. No secret to it except consistency and self discipline. Good luck and cheers to anyone else who is on a similar journey, if my lazy ass can do it, YOU can do it!

My husband has ADHD, depression and was on medication for many years. When we moved and he had to get a new Doctor. Unfortunately because my husband was nearly 68, the Doctor said ADHD medication was not recommended for someone his age and he wouldn't renew his prescription. The Dr didn't even offer to wean him off the meds! He left him with no meds and had him go. God so kind a friend recommended us to mushrooms (psilocybin) precisely. After his experience with shrooms five years ago till now there's no more ADHD, depression and mental disorder. Shrooms are life changing. There is no way you can put into words what it feels like...

I remember when they tried to make her apologize for not celebrating Lizzo’s “bravery”
@dwightschrute8467
As a 26 year old, I’m very worried about the likelihood of myself and others my age getting cancer. I am so upset that I grew up being fed poison for 18 years and that my body grew up/developed based off of that food instead of the food I eat now. I try to avoid as much of the bad as I can, but there are some days where I feel discouraged and like none of it matters because I’m afraid the damage has already been done from what my parents fed me for the first nearly 20 years of my life.
