Weight Loss Winner And Loser: Rex Ryan
Rex Ryan is a go for it kind of guy. The 47-year old Head Coach of the NFL’s New York Jets is not afraid to seize the moment on the football field or with his weight.
Today, Rex is recovering from having a lap-band procedure performed at the NYU Medical Center. In this weight loss surgery, a plastic band was inserted around his stomach to effectively shrink the size of it and curbing his appetite.
Really though, by having lap-band surgery, Rex Ryan was recovering from all of the hype over his weight. More and more it looked like he had a football stuffed in his shirt. During the Jets successful season, he was constantly in the news, often making jokes with his own weight loss images about his size.
The turning point may have come when TV cameras at a recent NHL game took shots of the 350-plus pounder’s belly as he playfully changed hockey jerseys. They were screaming weight loss pictures.
I first met Rex nearly 25 years ago after he landed his first football coaching job as an assistant at Western Kentucky. He has had a personal battle with his weight all along. So did his famous football coaching father, Buddy Ryan, who I worked with for years.
Coaching in the NFL may seem glamorous on Sundays and also when the team is winning. But it is a grind like you wouldn’t believe. Endless hours, endless stress, endless dealing with being second guessed by seemingly everyone who can spell football.
I hope the surgery works well for Rex Ryan, not only because I like him. But because he seized his moment when he knew he had to do something about his obesity. Despite unsuccessful efforts in the past, he had to try something new to lose weight. I hope his competitive spirit inspires and motivates others to do the same with their weight loss images.
Rex is already a big winner. Now I hope all of his future weight loss photos show he becomes and remains a big loser.
