On paper, losing weight seems pretty easy. All you have to do is exercise and eat healthy. However, for millions of people around the world, losing weight is one of the most difficult challenges because of the incredible amount of willpower and dedication required
At one point, Jesse Shand weighed 700 lbs. and had given up all hope of ever losing weight. He didn’t care about his diet, and spent all day on the computer bringing others down so that he wouldn’t feel so bad about himself.
It wasn’t until he stumbled upon a bodybuilder online forum, and members found out about his situation, that he started to believe that he could change himself.
While Jesse now regrets his online bullying, he acknowledges it was his way of coping with his ballooning weight.”It made me feel better about my situation because if I was focusing on someone else being upset, I didn’t have to really think about my own situation,” Jesse explained.
After being challenged by members of a weight-lifting forum, Jesse began working out, and documenting his journey. Jesse weighed about 700 lbs and was too fat to even fit in his shower.
Since then, he has lost over 400 lbs and has transformed his life.
