I'm making that dreaded walk down the hall at the doctors office toward the scales. I never look forward to this part. I think that I dislike it more than I do the actual appointment. I take that step onto the scale and sigh as the nurse tells me that I am now 184 pounds. I just couldn't believe it. I was absolutely horrified. I can remember back before my 2 children were born, that I was only 125 pounds. It seems like such a short time ago. It was that day I decided to make a change in my life for the better. I really needed to do something as I had no energy and was always depressed. I went home that afternoon and started to look at some different diet options. I ran across the HCG diet and really became interested. After reading about the diet and the product, I decided that I would look up a source for the HCG and check with some HCG wholesale manufacturers to check the potential to turn my experience into an opportunity to make some extra income.

I was so excited when I received my product and got on the diet. While starting out I did an exhausting amount of research on obesity and how it is affecting people in the Unite States. I was shocked with the information that I was finding. It kind of made me feel better to know that I wasn't alone in this horrible position. I realized that I needed to help others that are in trouble with their health as well.

According to the CDC, in the year 2000 in the United States there were no states at that time with an obesity rate that climbed past 20% of their population. The alarming new was the fact that now there isn't a single state that has an obesity rate that is under 20%. A few years ago Colorado was the final state to be included in this statistic. The southern region of the U.S. is plagued with obesity rates that are over 35% of the entire population. The really sad thing is that children are included in this percentage.

I had to sit back and ask myself, how could we get to this point. The most common explanation that people come up with is the fast paced lifestyle that most people live. We are all so busy with work and trying to balance a family life that we just don't have the time that we used to have. We tend to gravitate towards unhealthy and processed foods that are easy to prepare. Another major problem that we have especially for our children is the constant need to be entertained by electronics and social media. We spend way too much time sitting in front of computers and ipads.

What is astonishing is the affect that our weight has on our overall health. According to many leading medical doctors and researchers, obesity is one of the leading factors in the cause of some very bad health issues, such as cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure. So, what are we going to do about it. Are we going to just sit back and wait for someone else to come up with an answer, or are we going to stand up and fight for our health.

Well, it has been almost a year since that day in the doctors office and I couldn't be happier. I have since lost over 50 pounds. I feel good and have so much more energy than I did when I was carrying all that extra weight. My mood has also improved dramatically. I don't have that sense of feeling depressed all the time. Each and every day seems like an adventure now. I have people come up to me all the time asking me what I did to look so good. I have been able to help so many others accomplish the same results. I have also made a good income on the side by buying wholesale HCG and selling retail. All I did was look in the mirror and just get real with myself.
