I've seen a lot of "before and after" stories but this is the best

Jordan Grahm was not always a personal trainer focused on improving his own life and the lives of others. No, he was an overweight and depressed person. His transformation lasted a decade, but he finally realized what was important in life: his own health. His transformation is one of the most inspiring stories I have ever seen. Mira:

Throughout my life I had problems with being overweight.

In ninth grade I started playing soccer, weighing in at 131 kilos. He was only 13 years old.

The coaches wanted me to get bigger, stronger and faster, so I ate a lot and trained hard.

My mom always motivated me and he wanted me to be in better shape so that I could enjoy my life much more.

3 weeks before my 15th birthday, a tragedy occurred: my mother passed away suddenly. My motivation to train and to be in better shape completely disappeared.

Food was my escape route and my way of coping with the depression that I suffered due to the death of my mother. I also started using drugs to numb my feelings and escape reality.

I was not worried about my future at all. By the end of my senior year in high school I was already close to 181 kilos.

Time passed and I found myself a sedentary job. I continued to gain weight.

At the end of 2007 I weighed more than 185 kilos. Depression was still present in my life.

On March 30, 2008, at 3 a.m., I was in a serious car accident that could have killed me. It took 5 people to put me on a stretcher. The next day when I went for an MRI, it barely fit the machine. They had to put me in a special, much bigger.

That day I decided I had enough. I decided to change the way I lived, change the way I ate, and started exercising. I started walking my dog ​​1 kilometers up a hill. It took me almost an hour to complete that mile. Little by little I accelerated the pace and the distance.

One day we went up the hill 10 times just to prove to myself that it was possible. My dog ​​was saving my life.

I started studying nutrition. I also started taking boxing classes. At last I felt happy.

I have the personal trainer certificate through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). If you feel bad, don't lose hope.
