LOSING 155 LBS

Image
 I don't know how I did it but I did do it. I lost an amazing 150 lbs in about a year and I did not do any strength training at all. To start I'd like to say that it wasn't the first time that I tried losing weight. After many years of failing to take off the excess weight that I was carrying around, I had diabetes and developed kidney stones and high cholesterol issues. Determination plays a big role in all of this since it is what determines the outcome you're looking to accomplish. I read subscribed to men's health tried eating healthy and even joined dozens of different gyms to give up after a while. and later down the road started to experiment with the Herbalife process and it did work id lose 40 lbs only to gain it all back once I stopped using it. I also experimented with Hydroxycut which I used for over 90 and it ended up causing me calcifications which led to kidney stones and I ended up having to visit a doctor.

Feeling uncomfortable in most situations is what all of my life has been like. It has gotten worse as I age, so I've had to force myself to get myself out there talking to people and hanging around friends that don't make me feel comfortable. Especially without enjoying a drink of alcohol. fear of flushing the toilet fear of what people may say about me and what they may think. Anxiety has kept me locked up in my house for days without talking or stepping a foot outside the door. Anxiety has kept me, and my family, from sharing special moments with them. It is a curse to have to live with this constant reminder of how important it is to be
