The Guaranteed Way to Lose Weight. PART ONE

allanaaron

Recently I’ve been in terrible emotional pain. The issues are varied but the worst part was I was using food to deal with my pain, it’s my perfect sedative, my heroin. Did you know how heroin was named? Heroin is named after the German word for powerful, heroic, heroisch. It’s inventors were that excited about its potential in fighting drug addiction.
The consumption of heroin is marked by a euphoric rush, a warm feeling of relaxation, a sense of security and protection, and a dissipation of pain, fear, hunger, tension and anxiety. When heroin is snorted or smoked, the rush is intense and orgasmic. Subjectively, time may slow down. Any sense of anger, frustration or aggression disappears. Users enjoy the feeling of "being wrapped in God's warmest blanket". Food does that for me.
The result is that my deepest pain has become the drug I use to fight the other pains of my life. And that drug, food, has swelled my body up to 359 pounds. Walking, playing sports, standing, are all now difficult. A few days ago I met a man who had lost over a hundred pounds. He sat down with me and explained to me a system he used to lose his weight. I was only mildly intrigued with his ideas, I hoped they would be more creative and then he hit me with a bombshell that made me look one more time at everything he had said. I was in so much emotional turmoil, physical discomfort, suffering from depression and anxiety that I decided to try his plan.

Today is day five so I make no claim to knowing anything. But I do know I want to share what he told me and then share what really blew my mind. I will expose some of my deeper pain, hopefully crack a few jokes and then ultimately share how he threw a bombshell at me that finally ripped apart my defenses and somehow allowed me to start on this very early journey. If you’ve reached this far I am looking for friends on our site. I don’t want to change the world, I want to get healthy and feel good again. I want to replace my old hero, food, with something else… a new hero… a group of friends heroic and brave enough to take on their food issues and triumph. More in part two… Sincerely Allan Katz, aka Allanaaron.
