There are uncanny parallels between the weather reporting of impending hurricanes and impending blizzards. I lived in New England for my entire life, until I moved to South Florida 14 years ago.

Weight loss piques the interest of most people because all but a lucky few of us struggle with finding pounds, rather than losing them. A loss as massive as mine, one exceeding 100 lbs., begs the question, “How did you do it?” In this section, I invite you to come along with me as I answer the “How did you do it?” question. Come along as I share the raw emotions of my journey from fat kid to skinny college co-ed ( starvation mode, anyone?) to an obese adult to a morbidly obese senior citizen. Come along with me on […]
