I logged decades of being overweight, dieting, losing weight, gaining weight, carrying around a low-level misery along with the extra weight.

Life was good in many ways: work, family, friends.  I learned to be grateful for all I had.  I appreciated the life I had.  That should make the misery go away, right?  Nope.

But, when I started getting wise to the important role my brain was playing in what was going on with how I felt, how I ate, how I looked at my future, I started to see some significant changes.  The changes I had dreamed about but never really believed in.

I reached a point in my weight loss journey where I had given up caring about the size of my body.  Or the number on the scale.  I just wanted some peace around the whole shebang.  And I found it.  Weight loss success for me was losing 60 pounds in my first 6 months of applying my new tools.  It was a such a welcome surprise.  And now, years later, it’s something I get to enjoy every day.
