Well, tomorrow is the day I recommit my self to my quest for becoming someone with a normal body weight. Like Lindsay Lohan with cocaine, I fell off the diet and exercise wagon. The damage was not too severe I did regain 9 pounds in the last few months.
SO now I weight in at 309 pounds,still want to weight 200 pounds or less. I will not give myself a time frame ,because that can only lead to failure and frustration.
I am Jay Link, I am a foodaholic. I eat for pleasure, I eat for pain,I eat when I am Happy,Sad,Anxious,Depressed...You see a pattern here??? I just Eat!
thanks to my dear friend and weight loss mentor Dianna who is the CEO of Simplifast,I was able to shed 80 pounds and keep most of it off for about a year now.
If you are not aware of my story of how I became Super Morbidly Obese, I will encapsulate it once again, for new friends and fans.
I was a very skinny kid, I don't really know what happened, but when I was about 16 food become an emotional crutch for me,so I have struggled with being overweight for about 40 years.
As an adult I was alway weighing in between 220 and 275 pounds depending on what diet I was on. in late 1999 my beloved Father Julius was hit by a car while he was walking in Bullhead City Arizona ,where we lived at the time. I was an overnight DJ for Classic Rock Station Lucky 108 FM. My father was a wonderful man,fun loving,independent,and loved to go out and have some drinks with his friends.
While walking home on the night of September 3rd 1998, He somehow slipped and fell into the street and was hit by a car, and was dragged over 500 feet to his death.
The pain loss and devastation from his untimely death almost killed me. I was inconsolable,and it seems I turned to food as comfort,to fill up the void when he left me. My father was my best friend, my biggest fan and supporter,and I loved him with all my heart.
IN a few years time,I had eaten myself to over 560 pounds..having gaining over 300 pounds in a few years was very dangerous. I was not even aware of how much I was eating and how much I weighed. Food was my drug of choice,and since I didn't smoke,drink or do drugs,I became obsessed with food.
Imagine being so overweight you can't walk up a flight of stairs, or you break chairs and beds from the crushing weight of your body.Not to mention being an entertainer. I was like a freak,and going out in public was so painful and embarrassing.
I knew I had to do something or would soon be dead at 47 years of age.
In what should have been the prime of my life,I had created of my own doing,and was trapped in a Flesh Prison.
To Be continued......
