George’s cousin told him, “Brother, sometimes it is easier to be miserable than uncomfortable,” and that motivated George to address his physical and mentalhealth. With the support of his friends, family, and the MOVE! Team at Sam Rayburn VA Medical Facility in Bonham, Texas, George learned to listen to and understand his body and mind. Over the course of the next year, George steadily lost over 100 lbs while learning to enjoy life.
