SE02 EP07 - Who watches the Weight Watchers?
from Sourdough Modernity · host StringFellow Hawke
**Who Watches the Weight Watchers?**I've spent most of my life overweight.The man boobs. The gut. The awkward shirt changes in gym class. The constant feeling of trying to hide parts of myself. Recently, I looked back at my weight data and realized something surprising: in 2015 I was bouncing between 195 and 197 pounds, and today I'm 188. After more than a decade of trying, I haven't moved the needle nearly as much as I thought.But there's another side to the story.Last December I got down to 178.5 pounds. After a heart attack last July at 197 pounds, I was forced to take a hard look at my health and my habits. In this episode, I talk about the simple formula that actually works for me: overnight oats, homemade salads, portion control, calorie tracking, and staying out of restaurants.No gimmicks. No magic supplements. No secret hacks.Just a plan that works—if I stick to it.I also share how reading *How to Win Friends and Influence People* has me thinking differently about mindset, positivity, and helping others. Because maybe this journey isn't just about losing weight. Maybe it's about becoming the kind of person who can encourage someone else who's struggling too.The journey begins again.
