I am 31 years old, living in Omaha, Nebraska. For most of my adult life, I’ve been a bigger guy. I struggled through high school and college—gaining weight, not making conscious food choices, never seeing the inside of a gym, and not really caring. I sadly never considered how likely it was to affect my future.
All of the signs were there: excessive thirst, rapid weight loss, and a bone-deep exhaustion that couldn't be explained.
At the same time, however, I was newly married, living in a new city, and focused on wrapping up my senior year of college. Like many twenty-somethings, I didn't have great health insurance.
