Almost Obese, Almost Diabetic and Almost Dead!
“Just a few more points and you’ll be a diabetic…”
Life was hard and I didn’t even know it. I didn’t even realize that everyday I was asking my son to do simple tasks for me that I should have been able to do myself, but they were hard for me.

I had my boy tying my shoes for me in the past 6 or 7 months. When I bent down to tie my shoes, I would wheeze. My air passages were being cut off, just because I was bending over.
I always have him rubbing my back, because I hurt it at a job years ago and the weight that I carry on it, doesn’t make it feel any better.
I didn’t realize that I was slowly moving toward obesity and diabetes. I didn’t even realize that I was asking my son to do more and more stuff for me. I didn’t realize that I was having a harder and harder time doing things for myself.

“Man, I was Almost Dead!”
I went to the doctor a couple months ago for a regular check up. He was concerned about my weight and wanted to make sure that I wasn’t diabetic for the hundredth time. He checked my blood every time I came to the office for this very same thing. It kind of pissed me off.
This time when he got the results back he told me that I was ‘almost diabetic and I was almost obese’ and that I would have to do something about my weight.
The doctor doesn’t know it, but when he uttered the words ‘almost diabetic and almost obese.’ He caused a change in me that is still ringing inside of me today! It’s caused me to make the decision to start the Body By Vi Challenge.
I didn’t even check to see if I had lost any weight, but I thought… “Your clothes are loosening up. Why don’t we ramp up this weight drop?” I thought I may follow after the movie Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I thought I may start juicing.
I was only thinking about it. I had not made a decision. I was…. on the fence.

In this video I talk to Roxanne… the woman who stayed consistent and got me on these shakes! She helped save my life!
It’s time to make a change!
(NO EXCUSES! I don’t even have to go to the gym.)
This journey is so exciting! As I look at myself fitting into clothes that totally were too small for me, before. I am coming alive. My energy is full. I am satisfied. I am living. My head is clear. I am ready to go!
About 1 year ago… I was going through David Wood’s YouTube Videos and I came across this video. He said some things in this video that stuck with me for the entire year. Sadly, I never took action, but it was like seeds being planted in the ground. They didn’t first spout over night, but took some time being watered before they surfaced.
You just have to listen to what he says about losing weight… it was too much for me to transcribe here.
David’s Tips:
1. Get up at the same time everyday between the hours of 6am and 8am. 2. Exercise for a minimum of 1 hour a day as soon as you wake up. 3. Listen to Training and Empowering Audios everyday. 4. Exercise the brain in one area or the other that you are weak, early in the day. Exercise by reading or working on visualization. 5. Morning or evening: Plan day, create a list. 6. Do these every single day.

Take MASSIVE ACTION in your life! Make the DECISION that you are not going to sit there any longer and allow your life to remain the same as it has always been.
If you keep doing that you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you are getting!
It’s time to TAKE ACTION in your life! It’s time to DECIDE TO CHANGE!
