Losing weight has always been a big thorn in my side and since I was young I developed a habit of finding comfort in unhealthy foods. Anytime I was feeling any negative emotions I would bury them in food. Bullies made fun of me today bury the hurt in food. Didn’t do well on a test, didn’t get chosen for kickball, and forgot to do an assignment … Bury it in food.  As an adult this type of dangerous habitual behavior carried over.  Also my mom pointed out in elementary school I used to swim competitively and I would train 6 days out of the week.  As I grew older academics got in the way of swimming and unfortunately in Jr. High School I had to stop. I gained about 50 pounds on my small frame.  Instead of eating healthy and doing some sort of exercise I did a binge diet and even though I lost weight I quickly gained it right back.

As an adolescent I do not think I cared enough nor had the willpower to change my poor eating habits. I realized that some personal control and definitely changes in eating habits were required to lose some weight.  Realizing there is no secret weight loss program was important and I had to stick with the basics.  Also most importantly incorporating a good diet supplement was necessary. I believe that diet supplements are just that supplementary to the basics.Taking a diet supplement but not eating or exercising is meaningless.  By taking a good supplement while dieting and exercising was the key to me losing 35 pounds recently. My goal is losing 50 pounds by the end of this year and looks like I’m on track.
