Joel Belliston knows that the cliche about life kicking you when you're down, and it started when he was 16. What happens when life throws you a curveball that changes your future in an instant? Like most of us it led Joel down a path of self pity reinforced with food, with the hope that maybe someday things would get easier. Spoilers, it never does! At 353 pounds and realizing that he was making some real problems outside of his control worse with his knife and fork, he started a journey of change. His road is still far from smooth sailing but he is in the fight for himself and his family, taking responsibility for his health, and when you hear him talk you know he will succeed.
