Summary:
In January of 2010, Mario Colao, 28, began experiencing heart attack like symptoms during his sleep. At the time he was 460 pounds and wore a size 6X in clothing. One meal a day for Colao would be up to almost 2400 calories. After experiencing these scary symptoms more than once, he decided to make a pact with himself and change his lifestyle. He cut out all junk food and sugary drinks and began eating healthy as well as running and weightlifting. By October he achieved his goal weight of 260 pounds and plans to lose 20 to 30 more pounds. To celebrate his new weightloss succes, Mario flew to Philedelphia to run up the steps of the Philedelphia Museum of Art in order to re-create the famous scene from, 'Rocky.' Colao hopes to become a personal others and help others struggling with obesity.
Analysis:
I think Mario Colao's decision to make a positive change in his life is a great one and it makes me happy that he has been able to stick with it and reach a healthy weight. His story is very inspiring and hopefully will motivate others who are struggling with obesity to switch to a healthier lifestyle. I hope he finds more success in his fitness journey and career as a personal trainer.

ReplyDeleteThis shows how losing weight is no "easy fix" requiring only a pill. It took him more than 9 months to achieve his goal. People crave instant gratification and sometimes, when people are not seeing immediate results, they give up or look for an easy way out.
