Eradicating FAT, One Person at a Time

Shortly after losing my job, March or April - I can't remember, I stepped onto the scale and weighed in at my heaviest weight ever (pregnant or not): 204 pounds. I was miserable at that moment in time and my weight was the best evidence around to prove it.

A month or so after that in mid-May, I attended a watercolor workshop and spent four days on a boat touring the Channel Islands. That trip cemented in my mind the need to finally win the war I'd been waging my entire life with "weight" and shortly thereafter, I created this blog and began what I was determined to be the very last time I set out to lose weight.

I'm happy to say that from that top weight of 204 pounds, I'm now 27.5 pounds lighter and to say I feel better about myself would be a terrible understatement of the truth - I'M THRILLED!

What's fascinating this time around is that I haven't ONCE felt like I was "dieting", obvious proof that my mantra from the beginning has worked! And though I'm not quite to my target of 26% body fat, I'm sure I'm well on my way to attaining that goal. Note: I'll be scheduling another body fat test asap!

But it's not enough to just attain this goal for myself. America is full of obesity. You don't have to travel far at all to see it. In fact, while staying in Tennessee, I read a newspaper article written by a woman from Knoxville that had tried out for the television show, The Biggest Loser. It was heartbreaking to read her story and even more heartbreaking knowing there are so many like her, both men and women, suffering just the same.

So - I'm stepping up my efforts to work with people - men, women, young, old, whatever - that want to lose FAT! I know what I've done can be repeated and the exciting news is that I have my first client.  Her name is Linda and she's going to be my first success story. Stay tuned as we get her up and on her way to losing FAT as we'll be following her progress here on the blog, too.

What about you?  Do you need to lose some FAT? It's okay to admit it... most of us do. Contact me via email and you can be up and on your way to losing FAT, too!

Are you with me? ... because I'm gonna eradicate FAT, one person at a time... stayed tuned!
