"During the Quest, I released 28 pounds"

When I was 19 years old, I had all my teeth removed as a direct result of my addiction to sugar. This was a best option for me at the time, after I had suffered for years with my teeth rotting in my mouth and multiple oral surgeries. 

I eventually "graduated" to becoming a street addict until I was 27, when I started my journey of recovery. I got off the "obvious" drugs, but sugar was still a constant challenge. It didn't create an obvious problem - I became a productive member of society and did valuable work. 

Fast forward to March 15th, 2020, when I weighed in at 228 pounds - the heaviest I've ever been (and I'm only 5'7" tall). I was a self-described "fat boy" who felt disgusted at the condition I had allowed my body to deteriorate to. I was clearly emotionally eating, and indiscriminate in my food choices other than if I thought food "tasted good" to me. 
I found the world full of debates and conflicting opinions about what made food healthy - it was so confusing! 

When I started the Wildfit quest in October, I weighed 208 pounds - with the 20-pound weight loss largely through the deterioration of my muscles due to inactivity - not because of anything I was deliberately doing. 

I finished WildFit on January 8th, 2021. During the Quest, I released 28 pounds. Today, I'm 178. That makes a total reduction of 50 pounds in 10.5 months. 
I picked up a 50-pound bag of Epsom salts yesterday, and found it hard to believe that I used to carry that much useless weight on my body! 

WildFit helped me make sense of food and healthy eating, and I believe I've truly gained food freedom for the rest of my life - I feel so blessed!
