Weight Loss Help

Weight Loss Help


My interest in health related topics and weight loss started a long time ago, maybe even way back to the time when I was five years old. By the way, I read my first medical novel at that age. I also told my grandmother that I wanted to become a millionaire to help people, and that dream stayed with me for the rest of my life.

Ok, back to the reason behind the weight loss help theme. When I left school I was under the impression that I had to follow in the footsteps of some family members and study medicine. Lucky for me I first joined the defense force.

I received training in various defense sectors (I became a career soldier) before finally deciding that now was the time to find out what medicine was all about. I then joined a nursing program under the pretense that I maybe wanted to study medicine through a defense force study program.

I became a registered nurse and, thank my lucky stars, found out that I definitely did not want to become a doctor. I just could not handle all the suffering, but I can tell you that it was the time of my life that I felt the closest to my fellow human beings ever. I was filled with such an intense sense of service and self-worth whenever I helped someone. It was something I never experienced again in my life.

I can hear you say; “But what has this to do with weight loss?” Please bear with me; I will get to the weight loss part. I just want you to understand why this is so important to me, a mission statement of sorts.

I went on through life going into engineering, project management, logistics etc… I just never had that sense of utter fulfillment again. I kept on reading everything I could find on health, weight loss and various other related topics.

During those years I experienced the frustration of weight loss myself and also saw my wife going through the same old scenario of losing a little weight and just gaining extra weight afterwards.

Now at last I can actually do something about my long lost dream. I’m not only going to help the poor but I’m also going to help you to lose weight. I need you to tell me what I can help you with and I hope that you will find value in my ramblings.

Quite ironic, is it not? The people I want to help are mostly AIDS orphans, care givers and the aged who can hardly put food on the table or a roof over their heads. While on the other hand I want to help people who eat too much.

I plan to start a separate blog or newsletter on that topic for people who are interested. For now however this is about weight loss, weight loss help and support.


Here's to health for all and your success.
