What may you find?

 "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you just might find...you get what you need." Of course, that was made famous by Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones!


I was born in the 60's and was a teen in the 70's. I listened to a lot of "The Stones". I was always a "lyrics" person and sometimes things just stick with you. This lyric came to mind, and can be a very positive mantra in anyone's new journey. Stay with me... We're going places!

Where does your story begin?

Where does your story begin? We all have a background story. I think it's important to reach back, as I had to, to figure out where your weight challenges began. As I began to think about childhood memories and things that my parents shared with me about growing up, I realized that food played a big role. Or the lack of food, in all reality.

He simply couldn't afford to buy it, and feared I would starve

If you're a little impatient like I am, you may wonder if there is a way to lose the weight you want quickly. I'd say yes, probably. Safely? I don't think so! I went on a "protein shake only" diet years ago, with doctor's supervision. For 3 months I only consumed shakes for all my meals! NO chewing! I lost 50 pounds during that time frame, and ended up in intensive care at the hospital. I couldn't even chew when they made me eat at the hospital, and that was cottage cheese! Never again will I look for a "quick fix". I almost killed myself. And, put a McDonald's French fry in your mouth after not eating for 3 months. It's the worst thing you will ever taste. I felt like I put Crisco in my mouth. Horrible!  The first thing I learned was that I wasn't on a "diet". I was starting a lifestyle change. I graduated high school at around 225 pounds, and my max weight rose to 248 before I took control. That was the number. I refused t
