Family Tragedy Led To Self-Reflection | The Spark

Cary went from motocross and free time to kids and family time. Along the way, his diet slipped-until tragedy led him to take control.
Read Cary's Full Story | bbcom.me/1pzSuNj
Cary Higginbotham was in good shape throughout high school and college. His weight had never been an issue. "At 5-foot-11, I'd stay between 175 and 185 pounds, and I always felt athletic," he recalls. "I even raced motocross when I was in college and during the first few years of my marriage, which kept me in great shape."
Soon, however, things began to slow down. "My weight issues started out as the now-popular 'dad bod,'" he says. "I was still working out occasionally, but I was eating whatever I wanted. Initially, I only gained a few pounds."
But poor diet combined with inertia caused Cary's weight to increase. Healthy activities took a back seat to adult responsibilities, and a desk job and diet of sugary drinks and fast-food lunches set Cary back even more.
Binge-watching TV on the couch replaced an active lifestyle. It wasn't until his mother passed from heart complications associated with type 2 diabetes that Cary decided to implement change.
This is Cary's story.
