Jeremy Behar - Fitness Advocate

​

From a young age, I struggled with obesity and emotional eating. At just 7 years old, I weighed 100 lbs, and by 13, I was 200 lbs. My life revolved around hiding behind food, and my health looked bleak. When my mother took me to discuss weight-loss surgeries, the overwhelming options led me to declare, “No—I’ll do this on my own.” For years, I yo-yoed, reaching 300 lbs and dropping back down, only to gain it all again.

 

By 30, weighing 350 lbs and unable to tie my shoes, I finally opted for gastric sleeve surgery. Within a year, I lost 120 lbs and felt a new sense of freedom. But as the years passed, the weight slowly crept back. By 40, at 260 lbs and turning to alcohol and late-night eating for comfort, I felt defeated again.

 

It wasn’t until a year ago, after seeing a photo of myself, that something snapped. I knew I had to make a lasting change—not through shortcuts, but through hard work and discipline. I found Darrem Charles at Busy Body, started training, and adopted the world of bodybuilding. Slowly but surely, I transformed, not just physically but mentally.

 

Now, 13 years after my surgery, I’m on this stage to share my journey with the world. To anyone struggling with obesity, I want to show what’s possible when you refuse to give up. My dream is to inspire others to fight for their health and discover what they’re truly capable of. This is just the beginning.
