Tell us a little about your everyday life:
I live in Newton, MA and I am a Music Engineer
What is your current weight?
185
What's the most surprising thing you learned from this experience?
Weight loss is NOT just about "self control ." For me, food and weight loss or gain is a very emotional issue.I began to really understand my habits and emotions with eating. Ive also come to realize weight loss is not about going on a "diet," whether it be 'quick' weight loss or otherwise. becoming healthy is a life change and that statement alone has made a tremendous impact.
