| Every one of us at one point or another will | | | | pants size. |
| look in the mirror and wonder how did we pick | | | | |
| up the pounds. That dynamic athletic body we | | | | I remember shopping in the store one day and |
| had which made us stand up tall with our | | | | saying to my self, these designers are |
| heads held high was now being replaced with a | | | | ripping people off because I know for a fact |
| protruding group of alien tissue. We didn't | | | | they are not making these pants sizes what |
| even notice the UFO (unidentified food | | | | they should be. I know these size 40 pants |
| object) when it landed in our hands and mouth | | | | are really 38. These shirts say xxl but I |
| repeatedly and allowed this new growing | | | | know for a fact these are xl. The thought |
| mechanism to take over. How we use to run | | | | that I had actually went from a size 34 to |
| without knowing and jump around for nothing | | | | size 40 was too ridiculous for my mind to |
| because our body was a high energy machine | | | | process |
| ridding itself of excess energy. In those | | | | |
| times before the UFO we could see our feet | | | | I kind of notice I might had put on a smidgen |
| even if tilted back real far. Today a lot of | | | | of weight but I knew it was maybe because the |
| us can't see our feet when we bend forward as | | | | medicine I was taking was making me hold a |
| far as we can without tilting over and | | | | little extra water and that was the culprit |
| falling. It was a slow sneaky process that | | | | to my beginning-- to-- expand circumstance. I |
| living with ourselves day to day was hard to | | | | also told myself that the tiny bit of weight |
| notice. We didn't really see the signs, but | | | | I was putting on would not be hard at all to |
| they were there. They were definitely there | | | | burn off with a couple of jumping jacks here |
| right before our eyes just like our stomachs | | | | and there. It was getting a little too hard |
| and bigger thighs are now. We saw only the | | | | to be jumping around without any real purpose |

| get more for your money supersize deals. We | | | | |
| relished these times so much they became a | | | | One day I took that look in the mirror |
| daily habit. Most of us had friends who | | | | again-you know that Am I actually a fat boy |
| didn't hesitate to indulge in the daily | | | | now --look-and the mirror looked at me right |

| kicking. | | | | size 40 pants. |
| | | | |
| Now, looking back on it the only thing that | | | | That's when something, lets call it shame for |
| we should be kicking is our own butts. We | | | | the heck of it, came into my mind and said I |
| turned ourselves into human storage | | | | had better do something now to reverse this |
| facilities not so much unlike those places we | | | | trend . Weight loss I'm on my way. |
| use when we are moving and need to put our | | | | |
| big old furniture somewhere. The only | | | | I started researching mountains of |
| difference is those places store a host of | | | | information to learn how to get in shape. I |
| things and we only store one thing, namely | | | | started cross checking information and |
| fat. | | | | throwing out the diet myths that were |
| | | | destroyed and I listed anything that appeared |
| Fats a good word and a good thing when you | | | | the same in my entire research field. I had |
| are stranded on the side of MT. Everest for a | | | | one concern that hovered over my spirit and |
| week after getting separated from the | | | | that was I didn't want to embark on a plan |
| expedition party. Most of us are not really | | | | that I couldn't do for life. I didn't want to |
| going to be involved in any thing of that | | | | deny myself my favorite love-to-eat foods and |
| nature so it would be safe to say we really | | | | I didn't want to exercise until I got very |
| don't need an abundance of fat. We need just | | | | dizzy and passed out. I needed something |
| enough to pad those internal vital organs and | | | | where I could still eat my favorite foods and |
| a few other essential needs that arrive. | | | | still exercise without busting blood vessels. |
| | | | After trial and error and more research |
| I remember a few of my signals ,tell me if | | | | coupled with trial and error I finally had my |
| they are recognizable in your memories, for | | | | plan. |
| one I noticed my pants starting to fit just a | | | | |
| little bit snug so what I started doing was | | | | I put my plan into use and went from a 260 |
| unfastening the top button and letting my | | | | pound Mt-Everest --stranded--fat--needed guy |
| belt hold them up. This worked out good and | | | | to a guy who resembles the guy in my college |
| gave my stomach some breathing room. Another | | | | yearbook of 20 years age. At 205 and 6'1 I |
| thing was after the belt started becoming too | | | | look and feel a lot better. In fact after I |
| small to do this I had to go up a size in | | | | get though writing this I'm going to have |
| them. This again worked for awhile ,then that | | | | some chocolate ice-cream. I can do that |
| size started getting to small and I had to | | | | because I learned my body and learned how to |
| repeat the belt move (with a larger belt I | | | | stay in shape an easy way. If you would like |
| might add) and this worked great. All was | | | | to know what I did I have more information on |
| good in the land until history repeated | | | | this subject. I have an e-book with step by |
| itself and I had to start a new process over | | | | step ways to lose fat. No more UFOS for me . |
| again. This involved bigger belt and larger | | | | |
