Alexandra Harbushka’s life was sent into upheaval when she received a call from her doctor diagnosing her with herpes.

Third, all the dreams he hoped to accomplish in the future would be cut short by his obesity. In that state of panic, while still standing on the scale, Alan reached for his cell phone and snapped a picture, because at that moment he made the decision to never see those numbers on a scale that he stood on again...
