Easley reports to have lost a total of 280 pounds since making the decision to turn his life around in June of 2015.
After losing immediate family members over a short period of time, Easley said he fell into a depression that found him making unhealthy life-choices.
"I absolutely hated who I was and the fact I allowed myself to get like that. For four years I wasn't able to wear any shoes. All I could wear was house shoes," Easley said.
Easley told KOSA his doctors advised he lose weight to avoid an early death.
"I slept sitting up on the couch. I had lymph-edema in both my legs. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol. At one point my kidneys were shutting down, I was in bad shape,” Easley said.
