He Was Ashamed
Anthony felt too embarrassed because he was at such a heavy weight to go to the gym. Given the fact that when he walked around in public, he was exposed to such scorn and hurtful remarks, going to a gym full of fit people he thought would respond the same way was the last thing he wanted to do. Making fun of someone who is overweight for going to the gym is like making fun of someone hungry for going to a restaurant. It’s such a contradiction. A trip to the hospital, though, was about to change all that.
Visiting The Doctor
Anthony assumed that initially going to be a doctor’s check-up appointment ended up being a complete wake-up call. His doctor did tests, and the findings revealed that Anthony was going to get diabetes. Like a ton of bricks, the words reached Anthony. He realized there was something that he had to do about it and make some dramatic changes… Is it too late, though?
