Marchi Gordon, 37 years old, a bank manager, married,two children. For 18 years, she had breakfast and dined at McDonald's, leaving 200 dollars a week at a cafe. 188 thousand dollars for 18 years! The result is a mark of 151 kilograms on the scales and the nickname Zephyr Man. The day of Marchi began with two muffins with ham, a hashbrown and a large glass of soda. Then snacks came in the form of sweets, donuts and chips. The dinner consisted of a big mack, two cheeseburgers, a big potato and a big cola. In the evening, it was TV time: Marchi sat down in front of the screen, included a program about the fattest people in the world, and put down nuggets. For the night? Of course, what's the problem? Doctors warned Marchi that such a "diet" would kill her. But apparently, their words are not so impressed fat woman. She never changed fast food.Photo: swns.comPhoto: swns.comNo, Marchi was not happy with her appearance. She was offended by her nickname, embarrassed by the fact that she did not fit into an office chair, she envied those who looked not just perfect, but simply better. "I never felt feminine, I never felt beautiful," admitted Marchi. Her husband never insisted that his beloved woman lose weight. He himself is still a strong man. And she would have remained a "marshmallow" if not for her eldest son, eight-year-old Korda. One day, the boy came home from school and said that he was teased because she was fat. All those jokes in the style of "Your mother is so fat that ..." - well, you know. It got to the point that the boy began to assure his classmates that his mother was not fat at all, but pregnant. According to Marchi, this broke her heart. She realized that her weight is not her personal business. Her extra pounds are affecting her child’s life. “Mom, why are you so fat?” Korda asked. Marchi had no answer. “Is it possible for you to wake up tomorrow not being fat?” her son’s second question finished the woman off. Marchi cried all night and woke up a different person. No more McDonald’s. No more spaghetti with bread and meatballs. No more cakes at night. Marchi cut her daily calories from eight thousand to one and a half thousand. Fruits, vegetables, water – instead of fast food and soda. She started moving: first she walked around the block, then she realized that she was already able to run. Then she went to the gym. In six months, Marchi lost 45 kilograms. Home-cooked chicken, salad – now she carried lunchboxes to work with her. No sugar. “The first two weeks were the hardest. My body was in shock from the changes. Then it got easier. After a few months, I started wearing skirts and dresses, people told me how great I looked,” Marchi said. A few more months – and Marchi already weighed 75 kg. Of course, her body was not perfect: her skin was saggy, and her knee joints were hopelessly crooked. But even this was better than one and a half hundred kilograms of live weight! In addition, at that moment the most important thing happened, for which it was worth losing weight: the son was able to hug his mother. Before, he simply did not have enough arms to embrace her. And now the boy was able to clasp his palms – and was happy!1/4Photo: @marci.oleskewiczPhoto: swns.comPhoto: @marci.oleskewiczPhoto: swns.com“I cried at that moment – when Korda told me he had done it,” admitted Marchi. According to her, she herself had not previously realized how unhappy her weight made her.“Now I am sure that my sons are proud of me. I can walk and play with them – instead of watching TV,” says Marchi. “I can look at myself in the mirror without disgust. It’s amazing.”And Marchi’s efforts were also appreciated at work. She was promoted. Agree, a nice cherry on the cake! Read more:
