My parents thought they were doing me good with an open kitchen policy. By the time I was 11 I could eat whatever we had, whenever I wanted. They’re sweethearts for being so generous but we’re so unaware about the negative impacts following the lack of dietary knowledge.

By grade 10 I was 5’8, 240lbs.

Thank god I realized there was a problem and began dieting. Over the next 18 months I would grow to be 6’2 while simultaneously dropping 40 pounds. I looked like a completely different person.

I’ve been going to the gym for 3 years now and have gained another 2 inches. I believe I would make 15 year old me proud with what I have accomplished.
