“Was Having Panic Attacks”: Father of Three, 31-Year-Old 3x Grammy Winner Shed Massive Weight After He Went “Cold Turkey”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that among every ten Americans, four are plagued with obesity. The evolved lifestyle in the 21st century doesn’t offer much physical activity in the daily routine, and the fast-food supply chain has added to the overweight burden. The three-time Grammy-winning pop singer Shay Mooney also struggled with weight issues a couple of years ago.

The dad of three realized that his unhealthy lifestyle had been the cornerstone of his health crisis. Soon, he started the fitness journey to become a warrior against obesity.

Making lifestyle changes often requires courageous willpower, as ‘Old Habits Die Hard.’ The icon of Dan+Shay focused on changing his unhealthy habits that were affecting his quality of life. The dad of three mentally suffered while playing with his young kids, as his excessive weight made him tired.

Reflecting on his terrible times of unhealthy living, Mooney revealed his struggle with panic attacks while on a Dan+Shay tour before the 2020 pandemic. “I was having panic attacks, and I’d never had a panic attack before, and I didn’t know what was going on,” he said in an exclusive interview with People. So, the 31-year-old challenged himself to walk on the hard path of fitness, quit sugar, and go “cold turkey” in terms of alcohol.

Despite the difficulty in accustoming to the new habits, the singer thrived and lost over “50 lbs.” The transformation has helped Mooney not just physically but also improve his mental condition. His clean eating habits and sober lifestyle helped him not experience panic attacks again. The Good Things singer recounted how being overweight made him feel terrible.
