Hey Dr.K!
Thanks for taking the time to read my comment.
So here’s my story why I deserve double edged fat loss the most.
I’m a 48 year old hispanic man. I’m 5’4 and weigh 221 pounds, so as you can imagine, I’m not exactly the leanest person out there. Personally I haven’t really noticed my weight gain in the past 10 years (where i used to be around 170 pounds). My wife and 3 kids have always tell me how much fatter I’m getting and keep reminding me how it’s so dangerous.
Usually, as i have in the past 10 years, I just brushed off what they said and just lived life not caring too much about it.
And over those ten years I gained around 50-60 pounds while also “enjoying” terrible joint pain on my knees and muscular pains on my biceps, quads, and forearms.
In other words, I’m obese with pain all over my body, especially after a workout.
And during those 10 years, my son has really gotten in to fitness, and is really good in it. He listens to guys such as vince delmonte, john romaniello, craig ballantyne, jeff anderson, and joel marion. He used to be overweight and he got himself to drop from 178 pounds at 25% body fat to 165 at around 170% bodyfat. A huge improvement.
So i asked him to help me and he did. With his help I dropped 20 pounds of pure fat and built around 5 pounds of muscle all with bodyweight exercises. He taught me a lot of things about exercise and nutrition and that’s why you can see I have at least a grasp on the basic terminology.
But then the pain started comming back and I just stopped, for good. I couldn’t handle it anymore and i regain all the weight i lost. Again, it didnt matter to me much because I felt more relaxed not exercising.
But then my family started telling me what they saw on my body that i just didn’t notice. They said I looked like i had a beer belly (though i have never drank alcohol in my life), I had breasts like a women, they said there are my times I had to breath hard like when I tie my shoes, and they told me I walked like a penguin! (i had surgery on my right leg years ago where I ended up having that leg 1 inch shorter than the other making me have that side to side walk like a penguin but since my “man boobs” are huge, especially on the sides, when i put my arms down, I don’t touch my sides but they flare out like a penguin because the fat doesn’t let it go down.)
Then just a couple of days ago, my son told me about you and what he’s learned from you. He really loves your stuff by the way.
He started teaching me the stuff you talked about but I wasn’t really interested (exercise and nutrition is really boring to me).
Then finally my son and the rest of my family who were there at the time (my son, 2 daughters, wife, my mom, 2 sisters, and my brothers) told me I was going overboard. I needed to do something because this was too much and that I could die from this obesity. Whether they exaggerated or not, i don’t know but it was really emotional for me especially since I wanted to see my children grow older and see my grandchildren.
But then i remembered the pain i get from exercising and other tasks and I just didn’t want to exercise and I didn’t want to change my nutritional habits because I really like to eat good old tasty hispanic food. (I dont know if you have ever eaten rice, beans, and a nacatamal, but it’s heaven on earth.)
So i was still against everything.
Then my son told me everything you promised.
Fat loss, muscle building, improve digestion (another problem I have), improved motor coordination, and what was really the most important to me, stronger and healthier joints.
I was interested but it wasn’t until my son got the rest of my family to take action and do something about it. And that’s why I’m here right now. As my family is watching me write this to you right now, I really think I need to make a change in my life. I know my family is only doing this because they really want me to be healthy, happy, fit, and live a long life. and as a hispanic growing up in a hispanic culture (nicaragua), my family is very important to me.
They are with me all the way. And from what you are promising, I do believe that this can work for me, for good.
And as I write these last few sentences, my family is cheering me on, ecstatic about my decision to finally improve myself.
So to sum up, I KNOW that I deserve your double edged fat loss 2.0 more than anyone else is because I am ready to take the next step in my life and transform myself forever. I know I deserve the best for myself. And with the support of my family (especially from my son who will be doing every single workout with me) and my undivided and complete confidence in you and your teachings, this transformation IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
I’m done with this body!
I’m done with all of my excuses!
Thank you Dr.k for everything you have done, I hope we can talk again soon!
(I don’t know if i’m sending this twice. If I am, sorry for the repeat.)
