A Weight Loss Story - Part 1

I am going to tell you the story of a sad, sick and extensively overweight man and show you how that man became a happy, healthy and extensively fit man. This story starts with a man at the age of 26 years old that was newly divorced and had moved back to his home town due to the financial issues that came with his past relationship and his decisions from the past two years. This is my story. I hope it helps you.

It was a beautiful June in Colorado that year.  I had just gone through a very bad divorce. My wife of two years left me flat broke in an over priced condo in Albuquerque, NM with an empty bank account and a ton of past due bills and rent payments to reckon with just one month before. I was still trying to get my feet underneath me and figure out my next moves. I had gotten a job and was starting to get into the singles scene again. It seemed fun. I was 26 and had a few bucks so I was a pretty descent catch. I was divorced though and I quickly realized that came with its own set of challenges.

I was healthy and in great shape. I ran several miles everyday without exception and worked out consistently at the local YMCA. I weighed 185 pounds and had a body fat content of about 10%. I am 6'-2" tall and blond. I was in a prime state when I entered the dating scene. That started to be an issue about two months into the scene as I was drinking too much and had not slept correctly for a long time. Chasing girls and having fun can be hard work.

Then I met my soon to be second wife.
