My 600 -Lb life Joe Wexler was living a happily married life until 2019, when it was reported that he and Sarah were getting a divorce. Rumour has it that his wife Sarah was cheating. This definitely took Joe back to the dark place he had worked hard to get out of.
However, he did not stay down for too long as he got back on the weight management horse and has not stopped since. In a post on his Facebook page whose main purpose is to document his weight loss journey, he posted a long message to his fans reflecting on the challenges he has faced, with the worst being his divorce.
He’s still working on himself
“During the struggles with her I went into a deep depression and as a result, I didn’t care about myself or what I put in my body so I gained weight. I am in a much better place now and I as of yesterday, I have started my diet back up again so I can get back down to where I was at before,” he says.
He continues: “Will fight to overcome this though and I will get back to where I need to be. I have an awesome support system now and people around me whom actually love me and give a crap about me so that is also going to help me smash my goals.” states a segment of his August 2020 post.
However, when Sarah was approached to speak on the divorce, she shared a story of physical and psychological abuse and that his weight gain had nothing to do with the affair. Nonetheless, Joe moved back home to Tennessee, got a new girlfriend and he seems happy. We wish him well.
