This alone is practically a miracle, even for people with no mental/physical health struggles.

Certainly. He started as an entry-level contractor doing basic QA and whatnot. To his credit, he is extremely intelligent and once he was there they noticed, and started putting him in different certification programs and moving him up. Hes not rich by any means, but at a comfortable level where hell be able to move out of our parents once his surgery is done and hes recovered. A good mix of luck and his own efforts.

550lbs what the fuck

It was pretty hard to watch. My whole family aside from me is overweight, but once his depression got real deep and he dropped out of high school, he did pretty much nothing but sit on a computer and eat fast food all day. It starts to add up pretty quick. He did football and tennis when he was actually in school but ceased all physical activity once he left.

I dont have any I can share, but I do want to congratulate your and your brother. That takes a lot of good work and dedication, and Im sure he couldnt have done it without a support system such as you to help get him to where hes at today. Heres hoping he can keep that momentum rolling.

Thank you very much! Weve always been extremely cautious to not get our hopes up given how often hes started these things and then dropped them. But now, a year later, he seems as motivated as ever and is getting promotions at work and doing well in his classes. Seems like hes really on a path now.
