Hi my name is Steve Cipparito and
I would like to share with you my weight loss success story.
Before I dive into my personal story, I want you to know that I
am not a doctor or a nutritionist. I am your average
"Joe". Most of what I learned was from reading books about
weight loss, talking to people that lost weight, watching TV and
doing research on internet web sites for weight loss programs.
I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I am very happy with the
end result and my life has changed drastically for the better.
I was not an
overweight child for the first eight years of my life. I
was actually pretty skinny, but this all changed when I went to
a local day camp at the age of nine. That summer I was
known for being able to "out-eat" anybody. This included
almost eating a pie of pizza by myself. For a nine year
old, this was no small feat. I would eat donuts, cookies,
ice cream and anything I could get my hands one. By the
time the summer was over I could no longer fit into my clothes
anymore. I entered school that fall as a different kid.
Some of my friends didn't recognize me. I gained over 25
pounds.
Not much changed for me over the
next several years. My eating habits only grew. I
tried a few weight loss diets, but drinking chocolate shakes was
not what I considered a "meal". My parents were going to
send me to weight loss camp, but I refused to go. More of
anything, I was afraid I would starve there. My mom said
it is a "healthy weight loss" program. I would have
nothing of it.
In high school, I was 5'11 and
weighed close to 250 pounds. I was a good student, but had
trouble dating and was often picked on by older kids.
Luckily my sense of humor was what kept me going.
I'll never forget the day my life
changed. I was at my locker getting books for my next
class and two girls came over to me and asked me if they could
ask me a question. I turned beet red from embarrassment
and said "yes" eagerly. The one girl looked at me very
seriously and said quite loudly - "WHY ARE YOU SO FAT??!?!"
She laughed and ran down the hall. I was so upset with my
weight problem. I slammed my locker shut and decided TODAY
is the day I am changing my life and am going to lose the weight
now.
