Dan Brake

"My father’s warning that weight 'creeps up on you' felt irrelevant in my twenties, but his sudden death at 52 from heart neglect became a heart-breaking reality check I initially failed to heed. By the time I reached that same milestone age last year, weighing 130kg, I was finally realizing that while I had quit smoking years ago, I was still repeating his dangerous patterns.

I used to think reaching a weight goal meant I could stop trying, but through the support of my wife and the Vision Baulkham Hills community, I’ve learned that the 'long haul' requires a fundamental shift in mental health. I’m no longer just chasing a number; I’m turning every past failure into a lesson so I can be the grandfather my own kids deserved to have."
