Markie’s Story

I've learned that obesity isn't just about food, it's about choices. Now I realize that it's much more enjoyable to play with my son than watch him play.

I also look forward to the summer season now and don’t dread it just because the temperature gauge might go above ninety.

The most challenging thing about this has been change. I am a creature of habit as most of us are, but I realized if I wanted to change my life I would have to change my habits.

I've also learned that life is meant to be lived, not just observed. I'm only beginning this journey, but now I have the tools that I need to get where I'm going.
