I was greatly overweight a few months ago. Hard work, determination , discipline and some medical help allowed me to lose several dozen pounds. I really should have trimmed down just when I was gaining a little weight. I shouldn’t have waited for my size to balloon before everything got out of hand. Instead of a quick trim, I had to labor for several months just to lose weight. I should have nipped the bud at the onset. Don’t be like me. Try to trim down before your weight spirals.
