Lee jordan was meeting an old friend at Starbucks . He weighed 450 pounds . He was reuniting with his old highschool sweetheart Beth,whcih they havent seen eachother in over 20 years. He told her that he gained weight and lost some hair. he was expecting her to give a more negative impression then she did. she only saw the old Lee and didnt let the weight effect anything. Before changing his weight Jordan would eat 8000-12000 a day. he said he buried his emotions in his food. at one point he started running and only eating 900 calories a day , he then gave up and thought this is not a life he can sustain. beth and jordan got married in 2012 and he proposed at the same starbucks that they had met years before that. he eventually got in a fat camp and loss 100 pounds. Now him and his wife are professional trainers for weight loss and he weighs 178 pounds.

This is such a great story! I love that Beth didn't judge him based on his appearance. I also think it's great that he got healthy later, though.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's great that she actually loved him for him. But it important to realize that he needed to fix his health.
