Linda Wagner author of AS IS: Confessions of a True Fatty

Linda Wagner is will be the first to admit that she had, and has a problem with pounds. In retrospect, she has gained and lost over 1,000 pounds over the years.  Although athletic as a child, her battle with life events that affected her eating decisions from age 11 hounded her through failures with everything from Weight Watchers at age 14 to bariatric surgery at age 48, when she was over 400 pounds. The surgery helped her to get down to 160 at age 50, her hard relationship with life and food put her back to over 300 pounds.

Her continuing effort, like that of a recovering alcoholic, is a daily effort to address,  head-on, the factors and the foods that affect her weight. 

Accepting that she has a  problem, Linda re-focused on the facts, not the foods.  She found that that she did not have a weight problem, but she had a food relationship problem that enabled the weight.  For the first time in her life, Linda is losing weight the same way she gained it…one ounce at a time! She is down over 25 pounds and counting - based on reason, not rationing.  She Linda is re-engaged in her own personal relationship with herself.

The obesity and type 2 Diabetes epidemic  is costing us billions … and is killing more Americans than any other factor.  Millions of dollars-per-minute are being spent selling us bad food and worse

The obesity and type 2 Diabetes epidemic  is costing us billions … and is killing more Americans than any other factor.  Millions of dollars-per-minute are being spent selling us bad food and worse drugs to commercially fix a self-inflicted problem that we can fix …for free

But, obesity is a lonesome place. Individuals need allies, not advertising!
