It’s crazy how life can go from “normal” or even happy to a living hell in a matter of moments. Justine McCabe was forced to endure one of those moments that changed her life forever.
Shortly after losing her mother, her husband took his life following a long battle with depression. Though Justine’s mom died from chemotherapy complications caused by her obesity, she couldn’t help but eat her feelings. Losing two of the people she loved the most within just a two-year time span was simply unbearable.
The disasters sent Justine into a downward spiral of depression, and she spent three months barely making it through the days.
Finally, her family came up with a plan to help her get going: exercise.
They were hoping that working out would not only give her a sense of accomplishment in the day but also an opportunity to chase goals and work on her weight. However, everyone seemed to have doubts that she actually had the will power to make the changes necessary.
It was all she could do to get out of bed, much less actually hit the gym.
