Since 2014, I have fought with my weight. I am 6'4'. I weighed 248 at my heaviest. I carried it well around my belly and thighs, so I was not ashamed of it, but it definitely was not fun to look at in the mirror. I was the guy that wore a shirt in the water saying to myself that I was concerned about getting sunburned, but really I was just hiding.
I contributed it to stress. I tried the exercise and dieting, but the best I could do was only get around 220 - 230 and I still had the belly fat/muffin top. Then, I had admitted defeat and blamed it on age. I am in my 40s now and I guess this is just the way it is going to be. Now I realize that while stress and age does influence certain aspects of health, the biggest factor comes down to the choices that you make. The mental aspect is the biggest influence.
WildFit has been fun process reminding me of how I talk to myself into making the poor choices. Thank you Eric! How did I forget? I have worked with the best people, like Tony Robbins, T Harv Ever and others, and I have trained on this as well. Wouldn't it be great to work with Eric too? Mindset, choices...it is the only thing that matters when you want something.
I enjoyed the entire WildFit program - really liked the start and all of the freedoms, and really liked the finish and all of the results. It has been a stressful time in my life during the program but it was simple enough to follow and feel great about. I even contracted Strep Throat just before the week on fasting, so I took that week of nothing as my week of fasting. It was extremely painful, but I was grateful for the healing that my body went through.
From start to finish, I lost 28.6 pounds and reached my goal of 205 lbs. I also lost 17.5 inches. I still have some weight left to release, but with all of the results that I have achieved, I know exactly what I need to do. And like the program says, take pictures. It really puts things in perspective. Thank you again. And thank you everyone for your support. It has been a great journey together.
