Thank you for opening up and sharing this experience. It is inspirational what you had accomplished before your heart told you no.

I have always been fit and slim but over the past several years I have managed to add about 20 pounds. Medical issues have given me a good excuse not to get back in the gym and while I watch “what goes in” I’m not as vigilant as I once was and it now shows. You have inspired me to get moving again and make a conscious effort to adjust my diet.

I can also relate to not being able to do all the things I once did and will never be able to do again and about items on my bucket list that will never be realized.

It’s a very difficult thing to accept so thank you again Rodrigo for sharing your story and giving me that push.
