27-year-old Justin Macsween starred in the documentary “My 600 lb life”, which told how he managed to lose almost half.
According to Justin, at some point, due to obesity, he virtually ceased to leave the house. The guy blames his mother, who abandoned the family when he was five years old.
The woman was on drugs and ten years do not participate in the upbringing of his son. After a rare meeting with the mother Macswan eating. For 18 years he weighed 150 pounds, and 27 years his weight had reached 270 pounds.
Soon it got to the point that the guy could not drive a car, almost did not go, and is constantly choked. The American said that at some point he “woke up and realized how started his life.”
The man went to the doctor and said that she decided on surgery to remove excess fat and skin.
Before the operation he himself had managed to lose 50 pounds. After surgery and diet Justin managed to get down to 160 pounds and in honor of this event got a tattoo.
Zach said that the weight loss and the surgery changed his life.
“There are so many simple everyday things I can do now but couldn’t do before, when I was obese. It’s things like driving a car, boarding the plane, walk through the market without stopping to catch my breath, planning a holiday with friends. Now I can do more: run to the gym, going to the beach, hanging out with family.”
Zach is sure that the love for her son and his wife pushed him to such radical change.
“The idea that I’m not there with them, pushed me,’ he said. – I didn’t want son to grow up with the headstone of his father, and it forced me to fight in difficult moments. I struggled a lot that now you can tell your story to others.”
