When Your Head Makes You Thin

I can still see myself sitting opposite my doctor that day in March 2017 asking her when I could stop taking my medication for high blood pressure.
"Come on, Mr Delattre" came the response, "this treatment is for the rest of your life! Unless you can lose at least 65lbs, and I'm not sure that's really possible, there're no other solutions."
Electric shock. I weigh 295lbs. My life is at risk. And even my doctor doesn't thing I can lose weight...
I have to do something, take back control of my body. It can't go on like this. The idea started to form in my mind, it's time, I'm ready! In order to go on a diet, I need first and foremost and mind made of steel and up until this point, I didn't. All my previous attempts, undertaken without conviction, had failed.
But this time, it's different. I dare myself to do something crazy : to weigh 175lbs by December 31st 2017. I want the number on the scales to start with a '1'. Without medication, without surgery and without spending a penny. My assets include a rock-solid mental preparation, being able to keep up my morale through any ordeal and the unconditional support from my loved ones. Today, my mission is complete and I am so proud of myself. I lost 90lbs in 6 months! What a comeback! I have decided to share this incredible adventure of mine (no holds barred!) with you.
