Every time I encounter a weight loss success story I feel the need to celebrate. Weight loss is one of the most impossible tasks ever attempted by man or women. The success rate usually is directly proportionate to the weight loss you need to achieve. However, among the hundreds of failure stories, there are stories like this one that can inspire many people to attempt to live with the dignity they deserve.
How a 19 Year Old Obese Girl Lost 150 Pounds
The first question that will come to your mind would be – how much did this girl weigh if she has to loose 150 pounds? To answer your question, she weighed a terrible 425 pounds and because of the weight and the related health problems, the doctors had given her just four to five years to live. However, the imminent death did not bother Lisa (name has been changed) since she attempted to take her own life a couple of times, out of deep depression.
What actually catapulted her into taking action is the thought that a crane would be needed to carry her body to cemetery when she died. The weight, Lisa felt, would rob her of her dignity in death as it had been throughout her young life.
This is the beginning of the weight loss success story. This is when she decided that she had to do something about checking her weight. She appealed to her mother and sister for help and they readily agreed. The first thing was to consult a doctor for advice. The doctor recommended plastic surgery and liposuction over a period of two and half years. He promised a lot of pain and shock and gave no guarantee. Lisa accepted all the terms unflinchingly.
The weight loss success story slowly unfolded from here. There had been no less than 32 sittings where tiny aspirators sucked out the fat through tiny aspirators. In addition, after each liposuction, there would be a follow up plastic surgery. The weight loss success story was progressing all right.
After a mind-staggering 32 sittings, Lisa could, for the first time cross her hands and her legs while sitting down. She was looking gorgeous and her face shone with happiness. Frankly speaking, even the doctors were surprised with such a weight loss success story. They attributed it to the fact that she was young and extremely determined to succeed.
Today, at 25, Lisa is married and the new couple is expecting their first baby. It is wonderful when you come across such poignant success stories, which celebrate the power of the spirit of the man.
