Why did I lose weight….was it to get healthy or to save money?

Since the January 2019, I have lost a lot of weight.
I used to weigh 122 kilos………now I am steady at 99 kilos, I plan to drop my weight to 95 kilos soon.
My pants fall off if I don’t wear a belt and I don’t need to unzip the pants to take them off when I get home after work.
My target weight is 95 kilos and I plan to keep this for the rest of my life.
I am in no rush, because I have made a lifestyle change.
I do not starve myself and I am never hungry.
I simply choose the right food to eat that is nutritious and filling.
The weight was lost for a simple reason……economics.
If I maintain my XXXL size, I have to be prepared to spend a lot more for doctors and hospitals as I grow older.
Losing the weight makes sense because now I can improve my chances of living a longer, healthy life and not having to pay those expensive doctors!

Everyone I talk to about the lost weight is interested in my story when I emphasize the economic benefits.
If you only talk about the health benefits, they lose interest quickly.
If you tell them my story, they willingly listen and learn:
I lost weight so I wouldn’t have to give all my money away to strangers when I am older.
Being overweight means I will be a higher risk for many diseases, including; heart/stroke/cardiovascular disease, cancers, diabetes/blood diseases, liver disease, kidney disease….and more.

Staying overweight means I will grow old and sickly and have to rely on doctors and hospitals and expensive medication.
My biggest fear is being stuck in a wheelchair or having to rely on others to take care of me when I am unable to even wipe my own butt.
All my assets and money I have saved working my whole life will be given away to doctors and hospitals.
I would rather give my money to my family……….not strangers!
If I maintain a normal weight and stay healthy, my family will benefit from my efforts.

I know that getting sick and needing an operation to repair my heart is VERY EXPENSIVE.
So if you think staying healthy is expensive…………….try getting sick and you will understand why hospitals earn so much.

The main reason I have dropped my weight is for financial reasons……I cannot afford to get sick.
Staying healthy is the cheapest option for me.
I don’t want to retire and have to give all my money to doctors to stay alive.

Being responsible to my family by staying healthy is the best option.

You can see my belly is smaller, but I still have a bit more wight to lose before I reach my target weight.
