For me because of dumb decisions I made and I wound up homeless for a year and half, plus I was weighing close to 300 pounds, at that time I was 31 yrs old. Because of my behavior in past jobs no one would hire me and when I finally got a job but with a very low ball hourly pay. I would get paid and my pay check was gone that day.
I finally swallowed my pride and called my parents and asked for help. I moved back in with my parents, who lived three hours away. I got hired at a place I used to work at, and I started losing weight. All I could do was rebuild my life. It took a little over a year, but I dropped the weight, and I was rehired at my former employment. I shortly got my own place afterward.
