Peter Schoderbek was heavy his whole life, but by the time he graduated from university, his weight had ballooned to 442 pounds.
Having studied forestry (林业学), Peter realized that he wouldn’t be able to keep up with the strict demands of that line of work without losing weight. As soon as he graduated, he decided to get healthy. “In that field, you’re out in the woods all day walking around,” Peter said. “I started to realize you’re not going to be able to do anything like this as a job one day if you’re like this, so I decided to start dieting pretty hard.”
Peter started by eliminating fast food, and restaurant food in general. Instead, he prepared his meals at home, focusing on fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins (瘦蛋白). He also started exercising, even after long days spent hiking at work.
He also decided to add an exercise friend to his life by adopting a puppy! Peter says he chose a beagle (比格犬) for his companion because they have a lot of energy and will force him to get up off the sofa to take walks. Now he and Toby are out and about every day, and the weight has fallen off.
Peter now weighs 239 pounds, over 200 pounds gone! He plans to continue to lose weight and exercise his muscles, encouraging others to do the same. “If I can do it, you can do it,” Peter said. He wants to challenge people to walk 20,000 steps every day.
We hope Peter’s story encourages everyone to look at the bad habits they’ve created and make positive changes for the future!
