'I feel much better than I did before'

I began to seriously consider losing weight when I hit 120 kilograms.

I was obsessed with my weight; when I went up or down stairs my ankles hurt, and I didn't dare go to clothing stores because it was almost impossible to find clothes to fit me.

I had tried to lose weight a few times before, relying on methods I heard about from friends or through online searches, such as not eating at all in the evening.
