World Health Organisation (WHO) declared ‘obesity’ a global pandemic in 1997, designating it as a major health problem. In India too, obesity is reaching epic proportions. According to news reports, one in every four people in India is overweight. While people are looking for ways to reduce weight, a story from Mississippi, US will prove to be an inspiration for people who are already in their weight loss journey.
Nicholas Craft who weighed a whopping 365 pounds (165 Kg) reduced his weight and entered the normal category over four years. Craft was warned by doctors that he was a “ticking time bomb” and would not live longer, reported WDAM 7.
Craft said, “Depression lead me to overeat, and I couldn’t get around as I should”. Due to his condition, body aches, knee pain, and shortness of breath were normal and he couldn’t “get into regular vehicles”. Craft said he was restricted to his bed and even stopped attending family events and travelling.
