{"product_id":"2940012514615","title":"Simple \u0026 Easy Weight Loss","description":"Congratulations on being open to an exciting, new chapter in your life.\u003cbr\u003eBefore we get started I wanted to encourage you with my experience ...\u003cbr\u003eWhen I was in my teens, I never worried about my weight - I could eat\u003cbr\u003e\"whatever\" without a second thought. However, that changed - and\u003cbr\u003ewithout me even noticing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn my early twenties, I lived on my own for a few years. I didn't own any\u003cbr\u003efurniture, let alone a bathroom scale. Before I knew it, I was just a few\u003cbr\u003epounds from being considered obese. [For men, that's an extra 25% of\u003cbr\u003ebody fat.]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat started a weight loss and gain cycle that lasted for the next 30 years.\u003cbr\u003eI probably lost- and gained back over 300 pounds. I suppose that's the\u003cbr\u003ereason I never became extremely heavy- I kept trying to lose weight over\u003cbr\u003eand over. For some reason, carrying extra fat always bothered me- a lot\u003cbr\u003emore than some people I suppose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt wasn't so much as how I looked, as much as how it made me feel.\u003cbr\u003eSome people don't seem to have a problem with being overweight, but for\u003cbr\u003eme, it was a self esteem issue. I felt like other people saw me as lazy or\u003cbr\u003eundisciplined [and it made me feel that way a lot of the time too].\u003cbr\u003eSo I'd try to lose weight. Sometimes I would give up in a few days. Other\u003cbr\u003etimes I would succeed for three or four months. But without exception,\u003cbr\u003ethe weight ALWAYS came back on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat is, until I got a wake up call at age 49, and I became determined to\u003cbr\u003edo more than lose weight. I made up my mind I was also going to do\u003cbr\u003esomething more with my life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor reasons I can't totally explain, it's become my mission to spread that\u003cbr\u003eword that anyone can have the body and life they always wanted- without\u003cbr\u003egiving the money sucking diet and weight loss industry another dime.","brand":"Nook Ebook","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152513384688,"sku":"2940012514615","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012514615_p0.jpg?v=1763569904","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012514615","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
