I've been asked a few times why I started this website. Well, there's no single answer- so here are a few of them: I lost over 300 pounds in 2 years without surgery. I have managed to maintain my weight loss for the last 8 years. Before launching this site, I would never tell anyone about my weight loss. If we met, you would not have known I was ever “morbidly obese.” I never would have offered proactively offered to tell you- In a way, I was ashamed of how big I was. I wanted to leave the past in the past. I never felt my weight loss was an accomplishment or something to be proud of. A few years ago, I started telling my story to a few people. I was surprised by their reactions- no one believed me, and if they did they were amazed. They called my story “inspirational” and “amazing,” and it made me feel good. My story helped a few people and that made me feel even better....

Shawn’s Diet and StoryI’m going to preface this by letting you know that I am not a doctor, physician or dietician. I’m not here to give you “the answer.” I’m not here to tell you how to lose weight. I’m not here to get you to buy something from me, or feed you the lies you have heard a million times. You could consider me an expert of sorts when it comes to dieting and weight loss. But then again, anyone who has struggled with weight all their life can make this claim- you’re either an expert at diets that work or those that don’t. |
