Status Update – From 400 to 366
At 400 lbs I’d reached a point where daily life had become extremely challenging. I was literally outgrowing my home, my cars, even my surroundings. Simple things like standing long enough to cook a meal left me with severe strain in my lower back.
Not long ago, at 330 lbs, I was still surprisingly mobile for my size. I could manage stairs, visit car shows, and move around without too much trouble. But at 400 lbs it became a very different reality. Walking even short distances felt daunting. A few minutes left me out of breath and my back screaming for relief. My thighs and feet began to ache, and now my right Achilles tendon is inflamed from constant overuse. The discomfort when walking or climbing stairs is extreme, and it’s another serious obstacle I have to deal with.
Physically, I’ve also been dealing with other issues: circulation problems, restless nights, and shortness of breath. Compression socks became part of my daily routine, and even fitting into a public restroom stall turned into a challenge. My social life shrank drastically, and that was hard to accept.
That’s when I realized something had to change. I know many of you follow me because you enjoy seeing me grow bigger, but right now I need to be practical. Since then I’ve brought myself down from 400 lbs to 366 lbs. It hasn’t been easy, but already I feel small improvements in how I can move and breathe.
As much as part of me loves giving in to abundance, another part knows I have to slow down and find balance if I want to keep going. I want to regain some mobility, reduce this strain, and be able to enjoy time with friends again. That means letting go of some of the weight I recently gained and focusing on functioning better day to day.
I know some of you may feel disappointed by this shift, but I need to take care of myself enough to function. This isn’t about giving up—it’s about finding balance in a way that feels sustainable.
Thank you for understanding. I fully understand if you decide to stop your subscription — change is the only certainty in life. Right now I’m reclaiming my right to change my mind about getting bigger and to prioritise my ability to function and keep going.
