JAMES Robertson weighed roughly 440lbs at his heaviest. Growing up in West Virginia, which has the highest prevalence of obesity in the USA, he enjoyed a lifestyle of fast food and minimal exercise. In 2019, James had gained so much weight that his scales showed an error message. This, along with warnings of severe health complications from his doctor, motivated James to lose the weight. Through a combination of exercise and healthy eating, James has lost half his body weight over the past two years. James has learnt that weight loss can be a long but worthwhile journey. He told Truly: “You have to love yourself where you’re at right now. Think about where you want to be with your new life and celebrate the little steps.” Today, we see James meet his cousins, Clayton and Donnie, to try on a new suit. The last time he wore one, for his cousin’s wedding, James measured a 5XL top. “I hated wearing a suit before,” he told Truly, “but now I like it. It fits right and I’m happy.”
