How obesity is ruining my life
Jan 29, 2014
Hey! Cristoph here again :)
I would like to share how obesity basically ruined my life and I would like you to tell me how I can fix that.
By now, you know that I'm a 42 year old manager and I come from California. I work a lot and I really don't have the time for gyms, healthy eating and stuff like that. I know that is wrong, but I have to make a living, don't i?
Anyway...moving on. I work in a company for over 1o years and my weight started to cause me prblem when I was 31. Slowly, I gained weight (about 7-10lbs) every month. By the time I turned 36 I was 220 lbs and I felt awful about it. I was avoiding mirrors, health scales and anything else that will show me how obese...or better to say...how fat I am!
Back then, I had a girlfriend. She was a nice and kind person. She cared a lot about me and my health. Actually, she cared more than I did. She told me to lose weight, to get back in shape. I too knew that. There simply wasn't enought time for it. At the age of 37 I hade my first heart attack that put me in the hospital for about 3 days. My girlfriend and I got really scared, and that was a clear sign that I have to do something about my weight. I cut back on my work and devoted 1h three times a week to go to the gym. My weight was down by 20 lbs in 4 months and I felt great.
After a while, I was promoted to manage a whole department and I was back on working late hours and not being able to exercise. My girlfriend got really mad at me! But that wasn't a big problem as the thing that followed.
I started gaining weight again and no my weight affected my sex life. From the extra weight I got tired very fast, my erections were irregular and sometimes I didn't even get one. That was the last drop for my girlfriend. At 39 I got dumped and the last thing she said was "I can't keep going on like this. I can't care for you or anybody else, if they are not willing to take care of themselves!". I was destroyed! And I can't blame her. I might break up even earlier if it were me in here shoes.
I still have weight problems, that cause erecitile problems and other hear related issues! I need help and I'm hoping I can get it from you guys. 
Thank you,
Christopher
