Whitlow describes a pivotal moment, stating, "320 pounds. Poor. Riddled with trauma. Popping Percocet when my kids went to bed. Married to a monster... I was going to save my life, and my kids' lives."
After joining a gym, Whitlow notes, "The first time I worked out, I got on an elliptical machine, and within 15 minutes I was having chest pain, so I got off and was like, 'OK. We'll try again tomorrow.'"
As she gained confidence, Whitlow explains, "...the abuse just got worse and worse. My husband turned it into, 'Oh you're losing weight because you're cheating on me.' So the gym became our safe place."
