Do I Look Fat In This?

Folks, I want to share with you my friend Dick’s story.  He and I went to high school together and he has been on his own weight management journey.  Having just seen Dick in October, I want to say that he looks AMAZING.

Here’s what Dick has to say:

Hey Katrina! Dick M. here from central Kentucky.

Well it has happened: the Christmas Season has passed and many of us are facing the demons that we manage to leave behind (Ignore) for the holidays. Many of us managed to gain a few pounds during December.  And like me, a lot of us were already in desperate need of some sort of sensible controls to helps us make day to day decisions that bring better us health.

I want to share with you my journey over the last couple of years if I may.

I am 50 years old and I have been over weight most of my life. In October 2008 I was 6 foot 4 inches tall and weighed 376 pounds. I had been on the couch for ten years and was taking massive amounts of pain pills and Advil just to get through each and every work day. At 48 years old I was not sure I would make it to age 55 and to be honest  I was pretty sure if I made it to 55 I would probably be crippled or have zero quality of life. Hope was pretty much gone from my day to day thinking.

There have always been a million reasons why I was so large… family history, stationary life style due to athletic injuries, parents taught me to eat the worst foods on earth… yadda, yadda.

The bottom line is that I had never taken personal responsibility for my health.

In October of 2008 I was introduced to a product called “Healthy Chocolate” raw unprocessed chocolate that is life changing super nutrition for almost everyone on earth when consumed on a regular basis.  Of course I laughed at the very notion of “Healthy Chocolate” and pretty much dismissed it as another scam. But the person that introduced me to the products was my mother and she made a very compelling case for me to at least try the products for a couple of months.

So, I bought two months worth of this “Healthy Chocolate” and began to read about the “ORAC” phenomena. My initial research turned up some very interesting information form many credible medical and education institutions. I found some amazing research results in the National Institutes of Health archives (nih.org) and at Brunswick Labs. I was feeling some relief from my severe Osteoarthritis pain within two weeks of starting the Healthy  Chocolate. I had stopped drinking diet soda (unexplainable at this point) and I had lost 16 pounds in three weeks.

So, I began to dig deeper… well past the first page of a Goggle search.

I being very independent all my life and never being much of a joiner decided to sign up with this company so I could buy the Healthy Chocolate wholesale.

That makes two things I actually belong to… Sam’s Club is the other.

Please let me know if I need to continue. I do not want to bore your readers but I am willing to share an incredible story that could help many people.

Live Strong, Dick
