The guest on Pamela's Place Friday March 29th, is Linda Wagner, Obesity Survivor.
When Linda with Aaron Snyder, a 4th generation diabetic and obesity survivor, on February 7th , she was 55 years old and 305 pounds, and was an admitted failure at weight control. As of now, she was about 290 pounds and counting. That’s about 13 pounds, gone in 7 weeks based on reason, not rationing.
Linda is re-engaged in her own personal battle with life events that affected her decisions from age 11, and hounded her through failures with everything from Weight Watchers at age 14 to bariatric surgery at age 48, when she was over 400 pounds. The surgery helper to get down to 160 at age 50, her relationship with life and food put back 150 pounds. Linda is determined to change that the same way she gained it…one ounce at a time!
These are her words:
“Sometimes I have a day when I am kind of bored, listless, not very motivated. Nothing on TV looks good. I can’t get into the book I am reading. I find myself going into the kitchen, mindlessly opening the refrigerator, staring inside the fridge looking for something that looks appealing, and of course, nothing looks yummy. Then I start on the cabinets, opening and shutting, staring inside, looking for something that I don’t even really want.
What am I doing? Whatever is going on in my mind, food is obviously not the answer. I cannot even say I am craving anything, because I am not. I am not hungry!
It is just one of those days where my motivation for anything is on the low side of the tank. I need something to inspire me into action. I need my imagination charged up. My battery is low. Turning to food is not going to turn the blahs into ahahs.”
Obesity is a lonesome place. The epidemic needs a better, common sense, non-commercial approach. Linda Wagner is on it! Linda believes in Linda!
Linda openly discusses the fact that life events can compromise your willingness and ability to make good decisions; and how food can be an adversary or an ally.
The working title of her upcoming book is “ Get Me Out Of This Fat Suit- Confessions of a true Fatty” .
For all that are strugling with obesity or have friends and/or family that are strugling, spread the word and listen in to Friday's edition of Pamela's Place at 10:00 a.m. immediately after National and Local News.
Have a blessed day!
