Hello,
My name is James. I am originally from Detroit, Michigan. I grew up in a lot of places since my dad was in the military. Since I could remember I have always been the big kid. In elementary school the term was husky. In junior high it was cubby. In high school it was pudgy.......... Nowadays, I dont know what other adjective to utilize. Oh wait, morbidly obese. Thats it.
I have listened to everyone in this world regardin my life except the one individual that it afffects the most. I remember being a little kid having to finish his plate. I remember being told it is baby fat and it will fall off. I would like to B***H slap the person who created that term. Then I was told it isnt what you eat, as long as you exercise. I was very athletic in jr high and high school but that didnt work. I remember hating football because I was joining to lose weight, the coaches were steadily trying to beef me up. It was bad enough I grew up mostly in Texas. Everything is bigger in Texas. I realized I needed a change. It took me until the 2001 to decide upon pursuing gastric bypass surgery. This was going to be the tool to get me there.......The decision was easy. Following my heart with this would be hard.
I fought valiantly to lose the weight on my own. I did LA weight loss, and Weight Watchers. I would wrap myself in a heavy duty trash bag while I worked out; in order to cut weight. I combined this with Hydroxicut hoping for success. I was the Suppliment King. I has everything from pyruvate, chromium picolate, green tea extract, Xantrex, to speed. I became a fitness product junkie. If there was a new product claiming success, I had it. Body For Life book, myoplex shakes, Metrix shakes, Slim Fast, Boost, Fat Crash diet book, 3 hour diet book, and much much more. My quest was hampered by my addiction to gathering these items thinking they were my silver bullet.
I kept telling myself I can lose the weight without this tool.......but six years later I am even bigger. That is when I realized, "The time is now."
I have started the journey. I went to my seminar. I have had my initial consultation. I will keep you posted.
