| After tipping the scales at 500 pounds, a man from California who struggled with obesity was shocked by an unexpected diabetes diagnosis. Shortly afterward, he lost his right big toe to amputation. This event motivated him to turn his life around.
Maryland-born Robert “Bobby” Jones Jr., 50, who lives in the Bay Area of California has been a binge eater all his life.
“Even when I was 8 or 9, I used to sneak to the store, buy cakes, and hide them under my bed so my mom won’t see,” Mr. Jones told The Epoch Times. “But I always worked out because I always rode bikes, played basketball, so I stayed slim. When I was in the tenth grade I started working out less … I started putting on a lot of weight.”
