Choosing the Right Path

When you’ve got it to lose, losing weight is such a wonderful transformation for a person. The way down the scale is far more glorious than the way up. The way up is filled with concern, stress and shame. The way down is filled with hope, happiness and loose-fitting clothes.

My weight loss journey began with being inspired by someone else’s. Watching 396-pound Nate Newton shrink, day-by-day, right before my very eyes made me realize that the same outcome was possible for me. Watching his brilliant weight loss success unfold was like witnessing an absolute miracle.

After watching from the sidelines for long enough, I finally had to get in the game by asking for directions to the “miracle shop” for myself.

Nate’s success inspired me to take action and set up an appointment with his weight loss surgeon, Dr. David Kim. While Nate’s success definitely motivated and inspired me to find out more about Dr. Kim and the Sleeve Procedure, it was Dr. Kim himself who inspired me to change my life during my free consultation.

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of emails from listeners who have heard me talking about Dr. Kim on the radio. I love it. I love to hear from folks who find themselves in the same boat that I was in. Do you know why? Because I can help — and it’s so easy.

Like Nate inspired me, I’m now seeing that my own weight loss of roughly 70 pounds is motivating others — and now they too want to find out how to get their hands on the “miracle”.

But there is no miracle. There is only the reality that weight loss surgery was right for me. And it was right for Nate. And it’s been right for many, many others. Is it right for you? I don’t know, but you won’t either unless you’re inspired to the point that you decide to take action and investigate it for yourself.

Remember that help I mentioned? Remember how easy I said it was for me to provide? That’s because all I have to do encourage you to go visit Dr. Kim and see what’s right for you.

If you’re reading this and you’re battling your weight, I know where you are. I know what you’re feeling. I was there too. It’s tough living the way we’ve been living. In fact, it’s so tough that it will take years off of our lives if we continue to go down that path.

So choose the other path. The one full of hope, happiness and loose- fitting clothes. I did, and it’s changed my life forever. But it’s not a miracle, it’s a surgery. And I’m so grateful that Dr. Kim performed mine. If you go in for that initial consultation with him, I think you’ll understand very quickly why I am such a big fan.

No matter what you do, I want to wish you the best of luck. And please feel free to email me any time: Ben@benandskin.com. Please consider me an ally in the fight to get your life back!

Hope to see you on my path soon!
