At the time of recording, we’re in the week between Christmas and New Year’s, which is a time of the year where we prepare for the start of an upcoming year and reflect on the blessings of the past year.
I want to share with you my story and I hope it causes you to look at the new year as a new opportunity. In 2018, I lost 120 lbs. That’s not the story, that’s just a chapter. My story begins when I started to say “Yes” to my health.
How I Took Control of My Health
- A plan to eat six small meals a day and drink half our bodyweight in water.
- A health coach who held us accountable.
- We had a community supporting us by pulling in the same direction we are.
- The education for long term health because diets only get you to a certain point, it requires learning what health looks like for you.
In April 2018, I was 320 lbs. and I was happy. I ate what I wanted to eat and took a whole plethora of pills to medicate myself to perceived health. Then I watched friends of ours lose weight and keep it off, which is when we went on this health journey. When I started my health journey, I was just on a diet that I had started with my wife.
It was never the same.
I’m not here to sell you a program or convince you to do what I did. I’m here to tell you that it is possible for you to take control of your health and contend in this area of your life, even if you’ve failed multiple times.
I was the Atkins Diet king. I could go on that program once a year and drop 40 lbs. I would always quit and end up back to worse than I was before.
I made a commitment to my wife, Tina, that whatever she put in front of me I would eat. I am a picky eater but I made a choice to treat food differently than I ever had before. My brain was getting acclimated, but we didn’t have all the tools we needed to be successful. In April 2018, I leaned into this program and lost 120 lbs. in less than 10 months.
My goal was 250 lbs. and within four months, I was there. In six months, I hit my BMI weight. And, I have been in that range ever since because during the health journey process I made habits that still serve me well today.
I really want to encourage you to say, “This is the year I take control of my health.” I want you to be the year you do something, the year that put tools in place, get a community around you, get a health coach, educate yourself in healthy habits, and get that traction in your life.
As we enter 2021, don’t set another resolution — set a goal, put a plan to that goal, and put action to that plan for the long haul.
