Lindy Cellucci weighed over 300 pounds when she decided that she needed to change her lifestyle.<\/span>She was on a vacation with three of her friends, and quickly realized that she was struggling to keep up. One particular day, there was a lot of walking involved and it was a hot day. Cellucci knew that she wouldn\u2019t be able to navigate down a 300 too 500-step trek at the Hopewell Rocks<\/a> in New Brunswick. She told her friends to go ahead without her, and watched as they laughed and shared a fun new experience together \u2014 without her.<\/span>\u201cI was feeling very sorry for myself, and I was ashamed, and I was trying not to cry,\u201d Cellucci told This Morning<\/em>. \u201cAnd I actually said out loud \u2014 so people probably though I was crazy \u2014 I said, \u2018It\u2019s time.\u2019 I can\u2019t do this anymore\u2026 I\u2019m missing out on life, and I\u2019m not gonna see my kids have kids.\u201d<\/span>And she changed her life immediately.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/Your Morning<\/span>
\n<\/span>She stopped eating junk on the trip and tried to move a little bit more. Then after she got home, she joined Weight Watchers. She bought herself a Fitbit and began working out. After a year and a half of working on her health, Cellucci has lost 82 pounds and felt better than ever.<\/span>Then one day, everything changed when a new and unexpected health issue cropped up: cancer.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/Your Morning<\/span>
\n<\/span>Cellucci placed her hands in her armpits to warm them after a brisk walk outside in the cold, and felt a lump in her breast.<\/span>If she hadn\u2019t lost the weight, she says, she wouldn\u2019t have been able to feel the lump.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/Your Morning<\/span>Cellucci was diagnosed with stage 2A breast cancer<\/a>. She underwent months of radiation and chemo, and was put on steroids. Doctors prescribe steroids for different reasons<\/a>: to reduce nausea, help with symptoms of inflammation like swelling and pain, and even to treat the cancer itself.<\/span>Her breast cancer treatment caused her to gain all the weight back that she had worked so hard to lose.<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/Your Morning<\/span>She says she didn\u2019t care about losing her hair due to chemo, but she was \u201cdevastated\u201d about gaining back the weight she had lost.<\/span>Cellucci was eventually declared cancer-free. That same month, she resumed her previous healthy eating habits and started becoming more active. She went back on the Weight Watchers program, and resumed activities<\/a> like walking, boot camp, Zumba, and swim classes.<\/span>
\n<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/Your Morning<\/span>\u201cI just said \u2018You\u2019re going to live. This is all done. Let\u2019s just get on with it,\u2019\u201d she said<\/a>. \u201cAnd I just started again.\u201d<\/span>Since she first began focusing on her health, Cellucci has lost over 150 pounds \u2014 over half her previous weight.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/Your Morning<\/span>
\n<\/span>Cellucci says she\u2019s also working on forgiving herself for gaining so much weight. The mental and emotional work has actually been tougher than the physical work.<\/span>\u201cI need to forgive her because I don\u2019t. I still don\u2019t,\u201d she said<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m just angry that I let myself do that, that I did that to myself, that I made myself sick. I\u2019m still working on forgiving her because I was a good person, even though I was fat\u2026<\/span>\u201cI was a good mom, and generous, and funny. I was just fat.\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/Your Morning<\/span>
\n<\/span>Cellucci is still working on herself, but also trying to celebrate where she is now.<\/span>Cellucci\u2019s incredible journey even landed her on the cover on People<\/em> magazine\u2019s Half Their Size issue. Cellucci was so thrilled about the cover that she went to groceries store and told complete strangers that it was her on the cover!<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/Your Morning<\/span>Cellucci is an inspiration on to many levels.
