Bernstein, Atkins, Weight Watchers, Herbal Magic, Jenny Craig… Not to mention all the “fancy” diets like Dr. Low-carb, low-fat, Paleo, calorie counting… Thinking of our beautiful daughter finishing High School without a mom…Įverything you can do to lose weight that doesn’t involve strenuous exercise… I remembered what her laugh sounded like and felt like I was going to cry realizing I hadn’t heard it in years…ĭid I really have to watch her suffer like this? The weight just kept coming until she had 196 on her 5’11” frame…Īnd the woman who used to face every challenge with a smile seemed to have… given up…
Years of feeling so helpless as my happy, healthy wife became… someone else… someone I didn’t recognize… someone I’m not even sure wanted to keep living…Īnd now, in her 40’s it’s like the battle was lost… Years of watching her sink deeper and deeper into despair as she kept gaining weight no matter how hard she tried not to… Years of watching the woman I love struggle and suffer and give up hope… Since the broken bones and the battered spine and the constant, terrible crippling back pain took away every sport and activity she loved so much… How physical and fearless and fit she was with a body that made her look more like a model than a cop… It was one of the things that made me fall in love with her… It took over an hour for her to calm down enough to go back to sleep.Īn hour of tears and self loathing and hopelessness and grabbing hold of the belly fat she hated so much… Reliving the moment that ruined our lives… She was “there” again… back in her squad car, watching a telephone pole rush towards her like a speeding train…
The moment my beautiful, badass wife Tara… a woman who could take down a perp twice her size with nothing but a nightstick, who was the meanest power forward on her college basketball team and who could shut up anyone stupid enough to give her lip with nothing but her “Cop Stare”… woke up in a cold sweat, her jaw clenched so tight I thought she would break her teeth…Īnd then screamed so loud I heard ringing in my ear like I was at a heavy metal concert… That’s what forced me to go on the journey that changed EVERYTHING in my life and the life of thousands of men and women around the world who learned what I’m about to teach you right now…
