How Dwayne Johnson inspired one man to lose 87 pounds: ‘I thought I was destined to be fat my whole life’ therock
Wellness Wins is an original Yahoo series that shares the inspiring stories of people who have shed pounds healthfully.
After countless tries and failures, I thought I was destined to be fat my whole life. I was at a terrible place in life. I was heartbroken and sleeping on my parents’ floor because I was thrown out by my girlfriend. I had just started a new job so I had very little money at the time, and just had a terrible attitude about everything.
I also started to work out at least five times a week, even if I had to make up a workout because I wasn’t around a gym while traveling for work. One time, I found an old tire in a field by my hotel and used it for a workout, picking it up and running up and down the parking lot, doing as many pushups with it on my back as I could — anything I could do to get my heart pumping.
After seeing my progress and having people tell me how good I looked, I knew there was no way I was ever going to give up. I didn't want to have the health problems I saw my mom going through.I feel great. I know I still have a little way to go, but I know I’m going to be successful. I am way more confident. Many people have told me that I smile more and I’m always laughing and happy. I feel like I can carry on a conversation with anyone now because of the confidence boost.
