I got really sick and debilitated. Got a grim prognosis that I’d just get worse. Got me to really take my health seriously and do all I personally could through a lot of trial and error to see what might make for a better quality of life. Lost massive weight, kept it off long-term, defied all expectations for over 2 decades, did some extraordinary stuff I’d probably not have attempted if not faced with the end of my life as I’ve known it.
