| You Can..Master Your Weight! |
| "Mommy, you should go on The Biggest Loser." The words hit me like a slap. My 10 year old son, Anthony, is incredibly honest and tells it like it is. He was right, at 5’5” I weighed over 252lbs and was gaining daily. When he said that, and “The Biggest Loser” became his favorite show, I realized it was time to do something. Even a 10 year old could see I was fat and unhealthy! So, I went to the doctor. Surely I had a hormonal imbalance, slow thyroid or something. If not, maybe there was a new pill that would take the weight off without too much work. She had pills all right, high blood pressure pills and Lipitor. That was October 2008 and I was headed straight into the holidays. I felt lost, alone, hopeless, embarrassed but most of all, doomed to failure and sick. Was I just "destined to be chubby"? While surfing at my desk one afternoon trying to fight off the mid afternoon “sleepies”, I came across this program. I didn’t think I could afford the money to get started. How could I justify spending $250-$300 each month on just my food? Was it possible that I could have food with me all the time that would free me from the junk that was killing me? AND I wouldn’t be ALLOWED to exercise for at least the first 3 weeks? It sounded too good to be true. Finally I decided to try it. After all, the company had been around for almost 30 years was clinically proven by leading research hospitals and the National Institute of Health. I was scared to hope it would work. I got my food and started the plan 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. I felt a little tired the first few days but not any more terrible than I already felt. I got on the scale daily and watched it drop at least a pound a day! I was hooked! The money was no longer an issue, in fact, I was saving money! I had no idea how much I had been spending in $2-$10 intervals on food. The cravings for sweets and carbs were gone along with the "sleepies". But could I make it through the holidays? Thanksgiving and Christmas came and went and I ate turkey, green beans and my meal replacements. No one even complained, in fact, they seemed a little jealous. For the first time in my life I decided to put me first. Every time I was tempted I thought of my son’s eyes and heard those words again… no Biggest Loser for me! I was losing weight just like them but I was sitting on the couch watching! It’s been an amazing journey and I am more convinced than ever that this program is the right thing for people like me. I hate to exercise, I’m too busy too cook, I work at least 40-50 hours each week. Easy, quick, convenient that’s the kind of food I like. It feels amazing to have replaced the foods that made me sick and fat with new ones that make me feel amazing and healthy! Who knew I would become the healthy, happy one? Now I'm a health coach helping others find the road to health. I’m still on my own journey to optimal health . The difference this time is that I know I will make it. The sick person I was is gone for good. NO BIGGEST LOSER FOR ME! My past reality: 252.2 lbs Size 22w Body Mass Index (BMI) 42 Elastic waist pants always even jeans
