My Story
Let’s travel through the sands of time. I have always been overweight. I wore “husky’’ jeans when I was younger. Would have to buy clothes that was always big that didn’t look nice but that was all I could find. Maybe that might sound familiar. Wait there’s more.
I always thank my wife for marrying me. Sometimes she says I’m weird. Well, I thank her because always being overweight, I never thought that I would ever find someone to marry me. We’ve been together for 40 years. She is the best. In those 40 years, I went from 190 pounds to 300 pounds. She likes to cook and I like to eat. Let’s fast forward to 2015.
In 2015, I was 300 pounds and taking 12 pills a day. These were for type 2 diabetes, cholesterol, high blood pressure, vision, acid reflux. Well needless to say, I was getting tired of taking all of these. Now in defense of the medicine, I was not doing all that I could do. I thought the medicine should do it all by itself. In July of 2015, I was flipping through Netflix and found Forks over Knives. I had never heard of this before and decided to watch. I was a life changer. I figured what I could lose if this does not work.
I started with a Whole Food Plant Based Diet. Well to make a long story short, I lost 30 pounds in a month. Also, my numbers went down and became consistent. I went from 12 pills to 4 pills. Then something happened. I found fake meat, cheese, and snacks. All processed foods. Over the last 4 years, I gained back some weight.
