Tired of Sick and Tired

At the age of 24 and just finishing a 5.5 year term in the USAF, my health was not a priority at this time. Honestly, I thought I was bulletproof. Over the next 15 years, my weight and health deteriorated, and I had seen my weight exceed 280lbs (I am 6' tall). I had struggled with managing my weight for years, though I was active around the house/ work and the outdoors. I was on many medications for Hypertension, was Pre-Diabetic, and in and out of the ER at least once or twice a year for various reasons. Each trip to the ER resulted in no findings. Finally, in the fall of 2017, I remember telling myself that I am going to really enjoy Thanksgiving and all of the food, then I would start going to the gym. Thanksgiving came, and I really did enjoy the food. Three days later, I developed neuropathy in my lower legs and feet. I knew this was not a good thing and was not going to work for a 42 years old husband, and father of 2. On the night of Dec. 2nd, 2017, Dr. Berg's YouTube Channel changed my life. I could not get enough of his Keto advice. Then on Dec. 3rd, I woke up and ditched all sugars, and my Keto journey began. At that moment I weighed around 265lbs, and today (07/21/2021) I weigh 189lbs. It took me about 1 year to get to this weight, and I have maintained it ever since. Thank you Dr. Berg for making the quality of my life better, and thank you to all of your followers in the blogs, chats, and comments. You all have been so motivating, encouraging, and I cannot thank you all enough. -Fin-
