I was a finicky only child who insisted on fast food, and my parents let me have it. I never knew about the quick weight loss program. By the time I reached 15, I was 280 pounds — a "big" kid. In order to be liked, I became the crazy party guy. I upheld that persona on the outside, but on the inside it was tough. At 6'1", 380 pounds, I often just wished I could be myself.
WORST EXPERIENCE OF QUICK WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM I had to attend a friend's wedding. To my chagrin, I couldn't fit into my old size 52 suit. Showing up in a pair of size 56 khaki corduroys — the only pants in my closet that fit — it finally hit me: I didn't want to live this way anymore. I needed help.
HOW I DID IT Some friends had done well on Quick Weight Loss Watchers, so I turned to them. When I stepped on the scale at my first meeting and saw 413 pounds, I wanted to cry. I was ready to change everything, so I was blown away by my marching orders that day: I was to make sure I was drinking enough water and that I set down my fork and rested for five minutes at the first sign of fullness during meals. A few weeks later, I was given a long list of healthful foods to eat, and I revamped my diet.
