I received confirmation that I had earned a Southern Caribbean Cruise. At the time the thought of putting on a bathing suit was more than I could stand! I went and talked to Brent – and after getting on the scale and doing a body fat check
(260 lbs. and 34% body fat) I had all the wake up call I needed. Visiting with Brent brought me to the realization that I COULD NOT DO IT ON MY OWN. I had always thought that I could just cut out the soda, snacks, etc. – but many of years of thinking I could do it just led me to 260 lbs and feeling miserable about myself. No energy, no self control with food – it was not just being overweight – but affected every part of my life.
Brent put together menus and exercise programs – and I made the commitment that I would follow his program to the letter of the law. Absolutely no cheating under any circumstances. More important than the food and exercise, were the 3x5 cards and the pictures I put up on the wall. Brent worked with me and helped “breathe the belief” into me that I could succeed. (In my opinion, most “diets” fail in this area – anyone can change their eating habits for a short amount of time – but until you change how you think, the end result will always be the same – failure!
After working with Brent for the agreed upon time frame, I was down to 190 lbs and 14% body fat. What a change that made to me. Physically, emotionally, confidence factor – EVERYTHING was better. The best part is that it has now been over a year, and this morning when I got on the scale – 190.5 lbs – the program works for the long term if you are willing to put forth the effort, make the sacrifices, and most important, follow the steps that Brent provides.
Thanks Brent – You’re the best!
