Losing 400 Pounds Without Surgery

The next time you’re feeling overwhelmed with the amount of weight you need to lose, take a look at this story. When I saw this woman, I almost cried at her before picture. But she is such an inspiration, and her story is incredible.

Tammey Burns was deeply depressed when she weighed 575 pounds. She even tried to commit suicide. Thank God she was not successful, because she has since lost 410 pounds without surgery. Now she weighs 165 pounds.

It took her seven years to lose the weight, but she did it with diet and exercise. No surgery. “She couldn’t visit friends for fear she’d break any furniture she sat on. Couldn’t get in a car. Couldn’t go to the movies. Couldn’t attend to her own hygiene without help.” This story inspires me to just keep going. To everyday just take care of myself and keep going. Little changes and small steps add up.
