It All Begin!
Rachael Heffner is a native of Indianapolis who also happened to be an easy going and funny girl. Though the girl had to hear a lot because of the ever-increasing weight, she never took them to her heart. However, her weight indeed became an issue for her when she reached her college. The girl weighed at 285lbs at her heaviest. After entering the teenage she realized she had gained a lot of weight and she needed to cut down some. She even tried to keep some check on her eating habits but she could not get on with it for a longer time. Soon she found herself craving for potato chips and soda. To put it bluntly, the girl could not live without fizzy drinks.
It’s Love
She even started liking going to her college more when she met a boy who took her heart away when she met him for the first time. In no time she had completely fallen for him. Eventually, Rachael mustered up all her courage and asked him out. It was perhaps the worst mistake she had made in her life. The boy rejected her proposal. The reason he gave was that the girl was too heavy to be taken out and be seen with. She said, “I liked him and he didn’t like me, he made it known that it was because of the way that I looked and that he wasn’t attracted to me because I was heavier.”
A New Year’s Resolution
Well, there came the New Year that gave her an opportunity to put her goals into action. She began with making a New Year’s Resolution. She aimed to lose weight as much as she can and to lead a healthier life. Thereafter, she bought herself running shoes. On the next day, she threw all the junk food she had into the trash. The girl had made up her mind. She was going to lose 139 pounds. Yeah, you heard it right! It was half of her body weight.
Getting Him Back
He finally said those words that Rachael wanted to hear and when he did well, she simply turned him down. Her answer not only surprised the boy but it came as a surprise for the girl also. However, she felt very happy. The boy even apologized to Rachael for treating her in a wrong way but it was too late. Now, Rachael had another goals to pursue!
