know it at the time, but my body was under siege from an unhealthy diet of processed foods. As my health declined, my weight spiraled out of control until it topped out at over 400 pounds. I was miserable and burdened with a constellation of illnesses. Even walking was difficult. For over ten years, I searched for a safe and effective method for losing weight. Nothing worked long term.

I know I’m doing something right because a clerk at a clothing store recently told me I didn’t look old enough to have children. I then asked her how old I looked and she said about 25.
