After New Year’s I knew I had to smarten up my eating habits. At 6 foot I can carry some weight but, not where I was at 230+. Even more important was my wife and I were heading away with friends in Feb to the Dominican Republic. Did not want to add more to the existing 230+. 40 inch waist was getting squeezed and cringed at the thought of size 42 pants.
Even more motivation was my wife. After having a double mastectomy in Sept 2015 she wanted to get healthy and drop some weight. After seeing her mom and sister pass from breast cancer she wanted to get ahead of the game and made a huge sacrifice to have the surgery before getting any news. With a 20 year old son with autism to watch we both need to maintain our health.
I am happy to say that supporting each other through this and changing our eating habits allowed us to both succeed in the dietbet challenge. Heading off to the DR in Feb not going to throw all this work away. Will enjoy ourselves but, not go crazy. Committed to the new lifestyle of healthy eating and the side benefit of dropping the pounds.
