Cindi Hachey, from Fredericton, Canada, says she has turned her life around after weighing around 400 pounds.

Hachey celebrated her 50th birthday in January and says she wasn’t sure she would ever make it to being 50.

Hachey believes she weighed around 400 pounds before finding her new passion, but that is only an estimate as she was too ashamed to step on a scale.

Seven years ago, Hachey completely changed her lifestyle which started with running at her local mall.

“I realized that if I didn’t stop living the lifestyle that I was, that I would probably die before I was 50, instead of actually making it to 50,” states Hachey.

Now every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Hachey runs at the mall. She also changed her diet.

Hachey no longer drinks soda and only eats chocolate once a week.

Even though she has lost the weight and is a lot healthier now, Hachey isn’t going to stop running at the mall.

She says the changes she made are for life.
