I’d lost 70 pounds twice and smaller amounts countless times. But every time, I eventually gained it back.
At 348 pounds, I finally decided something had to change.
In this video, I’m sharing eight habits I had to confront—from refusing to meal prep and constantly “starting Monday” to late-night eating, hiding fast food, making excuses, and one habit I’ve rarely talked about publicly.
Breaking these patterns became part of how I eventually lost more than 110 pounds in my 50s.

This isn’t just a story about changing what I ate. It’s about confronting the behaviors that kept pulling me back into the same cycle.
One of the hardest things I discuss is my past relationship with alcohol. I used alcohol to cope, and quitting became an important turning point in rebuilding my life. That’s my personal experience—not advice to abruptly stop drinking. Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous for people who drink heavily or are physically dependent, and medical guidance may be necessary.
The biggest lesson I learned was to stop waiting for another Monday, another diet, or another burst of motivation. I needed to build habits I could actually continue living with.
This channel is for anyone who wants to lose weight, rebuild discipline, regain confidence, and create healthier habits they can sustain.

If you’re concerned about your eating or alcohol use, speak with a qualified healthcare professional. If you drink heavily or may be physically dependent on alcohol, seek medical guidance before stopping abruptly, as alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous.

Tell me where you're starting from and what goal you're working toward.
Diabetic woman, highest weight 280 lbs down to 185 at 60 and going strong. Low carb high protein real food worked. Not counting calories. Finally thank God. Congrats to everyone who has done this. I couldn't imagine getting older at that high weight.
Wow – a lot of this hits home for me. I've been in the same position.

God is good, He is always near.

AI bullsheet.
Awesome video! Thanks so much!!
It takes sacrifice to get healthy and lose weight but most people are not willing to sacrifice.
Finally real talk. That's what YouTube was made for!
Thank you for the video and sharing your experience.
This guy drags on and on and on about his eating habits so bad!! That it makes you wanna go eat a full size pizza!!
This was so me…from the pre-dinner burger king to the I'll start after the holidays which I began saying during the 50% off Halloween candy.
Anybody wondering if they can do this , YES, you can. If you want proof positive, with scientific evidence and guidance so that you can safely and successfully make this happen, then I recommend reading, The New Diet Revolution by Robert Atkins MD. Apply the principles and don’t screw around with it. You will be amazed and rewarded with the results. As for me, I shed 105 pounds in about 7 months. There.was a point, where I was dropping 1.5 pounds A DAY!
Please, you owe yourself a new lease on life. Best fortune to you in advance!
Thanks for sharing, Brother. 👍
Thank you. I have been complicit in all of these. A very good list of things to face while becoming who we want to be.
Until you quit the grog you are doomed
You know how you said you were in church and you felt like the pastor was preaching directly to you, been there done that. The rest of the video, been there done that. The only thing I never did that you did was drink. I have also overcome all those issues by eating a basically carnivore diet.😎
As soon as you said that the "goal weight" is a false end point, something clicked inside me, and instead of seeing numbers I got a vision how I could feel: healthy, strong and pretty (yes, am ♀️). Feel, not look!!!
Goal from inside instead of from outside. Thanks!
All true.
Thanks!
Dude thank you for your honesty in this. I am doing all this overstuffing in the evenings, not being honest with friends of my fiancée and I am getting married in a month. I need to be honest with her about my doing home eating.
This could be me talking. Thank you for sharing. God bless you
Wow you're telling my story you made me laugh explain this whole thing I completely related to you and identified thank you very much
Thank you so much. I gained a lot of insight
7 habits of a pathetic carb addict.
Thank you for your brutal honesty. For much of your journey, I could have stood right with you saying the exact same words. May God continue to bless you to help others like you did with me in this video. Thanks again.
FEMALE HERE, AND ENJOYED !!
Your honesty is absolutely refreshing. I see myself in some of those things as well. Thank you so very much!
Great share, Carnivore has been an amazing plan for me too.
Love this … I’m a woman and agree 100% …. Love your dry sense of humor 😊❤
I am a 73 yr old woman and have lost and re-gained weight my whole life. I don’t drink but I do make the same mistakes. I dont pre plan my meals. My worst food is sweets. I dont know if a want to eat carnivore but I have to do what you said and finally commit to eat the way I did when I was thin which was OMAD. Thank you
