"I was on this big trip. I made it a big [deal] like, 'Oh, I'm going to go out and do all this stuff in Australia,' and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities," he shared. One activity that had been out of reach for Christopher because of this was skydiving.

But his health journey didn't start there. It began years prior, when Christopher was in high school, experimenting with different meals and routines.

On this, he explained, "I was doing meal delivery things in high school, and I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school. It's not an overnight thing, but it took a lot of trial and error. And even still to this day, when [you see] before and after photos, I don't feel like I'm an after yet."
