He continued, “There’s no point in moaning about being overweight. You’ve got to do something about it. And it’s just starting the process, sitting down with a doctor or nutritionist, saying ‘How do I approach this? How do I do it?'” Elton also said his two young kids were an inspiration to get healthier, get in the best shape possible, and stick around as long as possible for them!
