diets do not work(look inside for the answer)

Hi my name is David I have been yo yoing most of my life and it has been a struggle, I lost and gained tell on fathers day of this year I got up to 295 lbs. Let me tell you that sucked I have two boys 6 and 3 and another girl on the way in a few days, And I did not want to watch them grow up from the side lines. So I took my weight battle on from the outside in. I looked at myself not as a fat person but as a person, some one who slips and makes mistakes. In doing so I realized what the real causes of my weight gain and over eating where coming from. First took a hard look at myself and realized that I was a closet eater ( basically I loved to scarf down food when no one was watching),also that I never really learn to tell when I was full. Lastly that I was living to eat ans not eating to live. So after I had excepted these facts about myself, I went another step and I told some one which for my was the hardest thing to do,this person was my wife. Then I took a hard look at what I put in my mouth every day, and I was shocked. I know how to eat right (water, skim milk, diet soda, and various other steps) and just did them the same as I was and with this new me I stared my new life. Today I weigh 256 lbs.. I sleep better no snoring( my wife likes that) lowered my cholesterol and blood pressure, no more gastrol reflex and gain a ton of energy to play with my kids. I still have a ways to go tell 160, but most importantly I believe in myself and what I am doing.
