I have had weight issues most of my life, although when I was younger it wasn't as bad as I thought it was at the time. But as I got older there were times I didn't care about my health or appearance and let myself get heavy. After going through pancreatitis in 2001 I found out I had type II diabetes. Controlling it with diet worked for a while but as I like food, it has been difficult.
Working lots of hours at a demanding job makes it hard to eat right too. So after seeing the results of a coworker on the Metabolic program I decided I needed to do it as well. Partly because I have an FAA medical exam coming up for renewal that I was concerned about, and would prefer to be off all medications and have good numbers for the blood tests.
While I don't fly for a living, I am a Commercially rated pilot and maintaining my health is an important part of keeping my flying privileges.
