Less One Man

He once weighed 368 pounds he tells me. It was as if he shed one or two men. A metamorphosis occured and now he is alive, moving, a dynamic force in my group exercise class. I try to imagine him at 368. This is nearly impossible, since I see a healthy and active man, whose movements are beautiful and effortless. His presence in my class is uplifting. His story an amazing truimph.

He tells me that he never stopped moving at 368. How he was able to do so despite his load, I have no idea. He does not tell me about his struggles. He speaks about his success. He only discloses that he stopped caring and the weight kept increasing. The decision to go through with gastric bypass surgery certainly changed his life. It gave him a chance, a life to live as one man – himself.
