From Obese to Actor - Making my dreams come true thanks to WLS!!!!!!!!
Actually he didn't say that he was not a constant working actor because of the weight. There are many reasons why someone would not pursue a dream while overweight, obese, etc... Here are a few: 1) Confidence level due to own issues and the weight loss proved to them that they can succeed in something thus giving them confidence to try other things, 2) insurance - insurance is important any time but especially if you are an unhealthy weight. Perhaps after he lost the weight, he felt he could risk being free of a full time job for insurance sake, or even 3) physical fitness improved enough to grind it out enough to go from a sedentary job to a physical job. For those that don't know, it is physically challenging for the schedule and the hours that are sometimes required of actors.
Congrats on your fitness, taking the risk and achieving your dream, Jamie Miles!
