The 100 Pound War
The Battle from XXXL to L
I thought my life was over. Sitting alone at night I would say things like, “I’ve had a good life. If I have a massive heart attack tonight, it’s ok”. I was 48 years old and I was thinking like a man on his deathbed! I’ve got more life to live! More things to do! Diabetes no longer a threat. Arthritis pain pills gone. I can now keep up with men in their 20s in the gym.

“James shows that dieting for weight loss is like putting a band-aid on cancer, it doesn’t treat the disease. The true cure to obesity lies in education first and foremost. The rest comes down to focusing on your why”
