Matt & Chelsey's Shift Towards Health

Matt and his wife, Chelsey, are such an inspiration!! Here is their story:

"So, I was extremely overweight throughout the entirety of my life. I never really thought I had image issues with myself, but I was always angry with myself when I couldn't do something that someone else could. I always wanted to be stronger, faster, more flexible, etc. I was always afraid of failing. I always got the compliment, "Wow, he is fast, for his size", or "He sure is nimble, for his size". See a pattern?

So in 2010, when Chelsey started this "diet", or at least what I then considered a diet, I thought nothing of it. I, more than likely, just rolled my eyes and said, "you can do whatever you want, honey." Haha, little did I know in that year she would lose 116 lbs., and more to my shock, she wasn't sick anymore! I was dumbfounded, and my mom liked her results so much she wanted to try it and lost 70 lbs. Now I'm sitting there saying to myself, "Just try it!". You have already started to lose weight simply because Chelsey was cooking healthier meals, so why not? The last time I remember looking at a scale at the doctor's office, I was well into 345 lbs. In just over 14 months, I hit my goal of 175 p. and have maintained a +10/-10 pounds range for over six months! I no longer take medication for my chronic heartburn and the thyroid condition my doctor said I needed to be medicated for entirely vanished! My body is actually able to heal itself like it was designed to do in the first place. I can't even begin to tell you how much better our lives are these days!"

What a joy to see their shift toward health!!
