Eventually I realized that this weight was not about just my body or that I ate to much or didn’t exercise enough. So much of my obesity was psychological in my case it was painful family issues. Whatever it takes the first step to being healthy is to learn to forgive others and find peace within yourself. When you do this you gain the world for your family and yourself.
Once I learned what the true cause of my obesity was I could begin the real process of transforming my body. I tried a high protein diet, it worked I got down to 180lbs and thanks to all the weight lifting I did I looked pretty good. It didn’t last though I felt weak and was craving sugar all the time. I spent hundreds of dollars a month for supplements that did little to help I ate whole foods (when I wasn’t stuffing my face with sugar to kill the cravings). I started a new business and all the time I had to spend working out and eating just right (most of the time) was gone. In two years I gained all the weight back plus an extra 10 pounds I was now 250 pounds. A couple years went by I closed my business, started a new job, got married had a child and moved out of state (with no job) all in a 2 year span. To say the least I was stressed out.
