Hey everyone, I'v mostly been posting on fatpeoplestories but i decided this was important enough to make my first post here.
Im only 20 y/o but because I am 622 pounds, Covid-19 almost killed me.
My entire family & I tested positive for the disease. Thankfully, unlike me, my parents & siblings are actually thin and take care of their bodies. So, my parents symptoms were mild and my siblings were straight asymptomatic.....I got severe body aches, a 101 degree fever and eventually had to be rushed to an ICU were i spent 2 days on a ventilator.
I cant put in to words just how fucking scary that was and i wont even try to. All i can tell you is that im not ashamed to say i cried for my mommy the entire time.
I really thought i was gonna die and im so blessed to just be back home and typing this....i mean, a 24 year old obese woman in Utah died of Covid-19. It doesnt matter if you're young. IF YOU ARE FAT, THIS CAN KILL YOU!
I havent fully recovered yet. I still have body aches, my sense of taste is just gone, and my energy levels are so low that i literally need my dad & little brother to lift me out of bed.... but at least im not in pain and i can breath. As for my family, they seem to have fully recovered 💪💪💪
I was always aware that my obesity was a threat to my life but coming face to face with the grim reaper was the "figure it out, stupid" slap i needed.
Prior to the pandemic, i was doing well. My training sessions with my dad were fantastic and i was actually down 15 pounds. Unfortunately, post-pandemic, i gained it all back and more but once i fully recover I AM GONNA get back on that grind.
PS: i wanna give a big shoutout to my dad because yall would be proud of him.
Over the past 6 months, he's gone from 200 pounds with a beer gut to now a SHREDDED 160 with visible 6 pack abs. Even in quarantine, he's getting his cross-fit sessions done.
He's a 50 year old cross-fitter! Dudes a fucking machine and definitely a "thinspiration" for me to look up to!
