This is me… and my dad - he is the whole reason I wrote this book “Eat More and Lose Weight”.
I come from a family of obesity - there’s no way around that fact. I was 300 lbs in 8th grade and i was bullied by my classmates, my step family and those who I called my “friends”.
Living with obesity is hard. Physically, mentally and spiritually.
I don’t blame my family for my weight, they did not know that there was a different way to live - that being overweight did not have to be our normal. I got lucky enough to find the mentors and lessons that helped me lose 95 lbs and maintain it.
After a health scare with my father, 2 years after I had lost my weight - I set out with him on a challenge. His doctor said he needed to lose weight or have heart surgery.
Worried, my father and I began our journey. I convinced him to eat what I prepared for him and on the first day he called me and asked “Do I get to eat all of this!?”
He didnt understand that dieting din’t have to mean Less food. It just meant less calories. I taught him how to count his calories and within 6 months he was down 50 lbs - and he never set foot in the gym.
All from counting his calories and choosing low calorie dense foods.
If you’re ready to break the rut and live a new normal - read my book.
