Why I need to
lose weight....again...
Hi,
My name is Ed and I live in Southern Ontario. Canada. There are thousands of reasons why I need to
lose weight...
My daughters, my wife, my knees, my heart, my friends, my happiness....so on and so on.
I’ve been BIG all my life. In my 20’s, I weighed in the low 200’s. I have always been a happy, kind, and well thought of guy, but I have always been big. I am aware of all the diet needs and plans and have been on many, only to lose small amounts of weight, and then put it back on. I have tried Herbal-Whatever, Physician’s Whatever, Whatever Watchers, Psycho-Whatever and multiple other methods, only to have very limited success.
About 13 years ago, after the birth of my 2nd daughter, I was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease. Thankfully, after 4 years of in/out hospitalization, some very unique treatments, and an excellent specialist, I was told I was in remission, healthy, and I still had both kidneys. Today, everything is great.
But the illness gave me an extra 100 pounds....
Now, 49, and 316 pounds, I know the time I have is becoming more and more limited. I know that over the past 2-3 years, I have not concentrated on any diet, just eating well. I have never been very active, maybe due to my weight, but I still dream about being younger and doing things without limitations.
Socially, I am very active. Being part of 2 businesses, various charity groups and being a semi-professional musician, keeps me busy. I am also the main parent at home for my 2 teenage girls. I know in my circle of friends, they would love to see “less” of me, if only for my benefit, and this is the issue. The weight is starting to slow me down.
After reading the article, and having a “jaded” past with diet theories, some of the details do make sense. I have learned in the past that succeeding at losing weight is not a caloric count alone, but a total behaviour system.
I would like to try your method. I am very interested in what it says and how it teaches its method. I am interested in learning more about the author and what challenges he faced while going through the stages.
.I am ready to start a new stage in my life. Please send me your book.
Sincerely,
Ed
