Fat Guy Forum Episode 279 - 693 And Mike!

Mike's damaged relationship with food began as a child when he learned adults around him found his capacity to eat entertaining. If you just jump ahead you learn he was eventually 693 pounds and barely mobile, but his story is about so much more. It is about a lifetime of dieting and using food as comfort as he battled mental illness and physical trauma while navigating a health care system determined to right him off. Mike found it within himself to fight and champion himself through it all, and his journey is not over by any means, but he is the healthiest he has been in a long time mentally and physically, down over 200 pounds so far and thriving in his life! The challenges and bad days don't fade, but he grows stronger fighting them. I am excited to share his story with you in this new episode.
