From Fat to Fit: Back Among the Living
At 325 pounds, Lewis Eugene Ballin wasn't simply carrying excess weight. Years of declining health had gradually taken away pieces of the life he once knew.
Heart disease, diabetes, limited mobility, oxygen, medications, and the possibility of what might come next had made his world smaller. But this is not a story about chasing a number on a scale, and it is not a story of achieving perfection.
It is a story about getting another chance at life-and deciding to participate in it.
In From Fat to Fit: Back Among the Living, Lewis shares the deeply personal journey that transformed not only his body, but his understanding of faith, family, obedience, gratitude, and the value of the life God had given him.
Along the way, victories that once seemed impossible began appearing: walking farther, needing less medication, improving his diabetes control, working with his hands again, building things, serving the people he loves, and waking each morning with something he wants to do.
Through humor, painful honesty, family memories, and faith, Lewis discovers that the greatest victory isn't found in becoming thinner.
It's found in living again.
From Fat to Fit: Back Among the Living is the testimony of a man who learned that yesterday's choices may leave consequences, but they do not have to determine how tomorrow is lived.
As long as God gives us breath, there is still life to be lived.
