Hi there!
I have to say that Sweden helped me a lot finding my loved and forgotten hobbies and my love for sports and competition.
In 2008 I weighed 128kg, in august 2013 I weighed “only” 98kg. Still, something was not right! I started to do what I left years ago…. training! And I loved it (not really)!
July 2013 – The picture below is the one that made me understand that something is very… I mean very, very “Wrong” with me!
Well I accepted the fatty, slow, acid, negative dude in me?! Was that possible? I had pain… always. Well, this is one of the things affecting me in a particular tough way – the pain.
In 2003 I worked in Italy and helping my colleagues with an IT cargo (computers) I managed to get myself a wonderful disc herniation…. well, not just one as later on emerged…. but two nice beasts squeezing my nerves! Just great!
And when I thought like: “Well…. could it be worse?!”….. the answer was of course: “YES”!
The fact that I have asthma resulted in a constant excuse used by fat, lazy, smokers…. What? Smokers!? YES! I smoked too…. a lot! So, pain in my back due to the hernia, the smoking due to depression or the sore fact that almost everybody in my family used to smoke and yes… somebody states that smoking is kind of hereditary too! Well…. Could it be worse now?! YES! Of course! :)
A day before Christmas 2008 I planned to do the last IT service before heading back home to my family… I was driving to the location while speaking to my wife on the phone (using a cable of course)… the traffic was horrible as always at the well known “Tangenziale di Mestre” and….. BAM! A guy did not see my car I guess due to the mist…. That hurts! Trust me!
OK…. I was lying on the couch watching the TV and drowning in my pain and sorrow, my wife was doing pretty much everything,,,, and I was really asking myself on how much more could she take of this crap and watching me complaining about this and that and not doing actually anything to change a single thing in my pathetic life!
I knew I had to change something…. maybe everything….
I tried, a lot. But something was wrong all the time. I was large… too big with my 113kg!
So we decided…a change was needed! Not only for me, but for the whole family! We needed a better and a smarter life!
We moved to Sweden! :)
