I am a 54 year old man.
I was 6 ft 3 in. by the time I was 16 and was always in good shape and around 190-200 pounds.
I started drinking heavily at age 25; and along with daily drinking goes poor eating habits and laziness.
By age 30 I was well over 250 pounds and in my 40's I peaked at almost 300 pounds. I had insanely high blood pressure and cholesterol. I started medication but kept drinking.
I am now 13 months sober, still weigh 280 pounds and it is really hard to lose any weight. I am out of shape and out of breath all the time.
27 years of daily drinking and abusing my body has messed me up.
I see the doctor again in a few weeks.
Clean up your act before it is too late.
