In the spring of 23’ I was diagnosed with obesity. I weighted ~230 pounds while being 5’11. Needless to say I wasn’t thrilled with the news.

I used to spend 30 bucks a day eating out. I live alone, so whenever anyone mentioned “why don’t you get a Costco membership? Lose weight and save money?” I always brushed that off as nonsense. Why would I need a Costco membership? I only have myself to cook for. Needless to say whenever I was eating out it was never exactly a healthy meal.

Well, I said fuck it and joined Costco. I wasn’t afraid to try new things and learning how to cook. I knew that if I bought a product I didn’t enjoy I could just return it. I also learned that Costco generally speaking sells good quality products. I started eating a lot more vegetables and fruits.

I also noticed that instead of spending $30 a day I started spending $50-60 a week on food. I still treat myself occasionally on the weekends, but I definitely do not spend as much money anymore.

I took my $700-800 of savings per months and joined an expensive gym I used to not want to pay for. 4-5 months later, I am no longer obese and I feel much better in every way.

Thank you Costco.
