16 Jan One-Legged Man Loses A Whopping 500lbs After Doctors Gave Him Three Months To Live

Making a dramatic lifestyle change is never easy. Whether it’s vowing to stop smoking or deciding to eat healthier, we all know how difficult it is to muster the motivation to make a change. However, sometimes people can be pushed into taking action when their health is at risk.

That was the case for 42-year-old Stanley Hollar who was told in 2015 that if he didn’t lose weight, he would die.

Ever since the mid-twentieth century, it has become easier and easier for people to indulge in unhealthy food. The rise of restaurant chains like McDonald’s has created a culture where cheap, tasty, and seemingly satisfying food is available in mere minutes.

In fact, the size of the average restaurant meal in the US has increased four times since the 1950s.

Many people who struggle to maintain a healthy weight begin their battles as children. Stanley was no exception, and, because of his weight, he had to have one of his legs amputated in 1996 at the age of 20, but unfortunately, this still wasn’t enough motivation for him to change.

“Weight has always been an issue,” Stanley said in an interview with the Daily Mail. “I was large even as a young child, weighing nearly 100lbs when I was a five-year-old in kindergarten.”

“It’s something I’ve lived with my whole life, but it was normal to me and not something I even really struggled with. My family tried to say something several times, but it was a lot of words and not a lot of actions.”
