Part 4/7:
After graduating, I attended community college and entered the workforce, which proved challenging. My job as a car washer was strenuous yet didn't promote healthful habits. My diet consisted of fast food and limited physical activity, leading to further weight gain—ultimately reaching 301 pounds.
Hitting the Low Point
A significant moment occurred when I recognized my weight for the first time in years. Stepping on the scale at the doctor’s office was a crushing realization. It marked the beginning of my journey toward change, as I felt defeated yet determined to take control of my life.
Shortly after, with newfound resolve, I announced my decision to lose weight. My mother enrolled me in Weight Watchers, which helped me lose 15 pounds, sparking motivation.
