Getting healthy without medical intervention
Morgan was advised by doctors to have gastric bypass, a surgery that divides the stomach into a smaller section so people eat less.
Morgan knew friends who had the surgery and felt as though they didn’t really change their diet, they just ate smaller amount, she said.
Rather than go in for surgery, Morgan sat down and created her own diet plan. Taking some of the nutrition knowledge she learned in college, she created a diet full of lean meats, fish, vegetables, fruits and water.
Plus, she started exercising. The first day she hit the gym, she hit a setback. Her weight broke one of the machines, so she decided to start walking on her own.
“It’s not about investing in supplements, gym memberships, programs or diet plans,” she told CNN. “For me it was about investing in myself, my health, my mind and my body.”
From 403 pounds to 114
Morgan stuck to her diet and kept exercising, even though friends told her she wouldn’t be successful without medical help. In two years, Morgan has lost 298 pounds.
Before she lost the weight she remembers how unhealthy she felt.
“I swear, every beat of my heart hurt,” Morgan says. “Any moment could be my last, and I felt one morning I simply would not wake up.”
Now, she says she’s finally found happiness in her life.
“Perfection is knowing that I am the best I can be in every way,” she says. “And now I’m no longer an observer of life, but a participant.”
