My Realization
I stopped working out, just sat back watching TV, eating greasy fast foods. My ah-ha moment came to me at work. I operate gasoline pipelines and maintain a truck-loading facility, so my job is very physical. It became increasingly difficult to climb the tanks and carry my equipment bag. It was wearing me out.
My Challenge
In the military I had knee surgery, so I wasn’t able to exercise, and eating all the junk food added up. After trying other programs without success, I was a little skeptical about Real Appeal. I tried everything from shakes to diet pills. None of them seemed to work. I’d lose the weight, but then gain it back.
My Motivation
Setting a good example for my daughter. She’s even started to meal prep with me. This is a plan for life, not just something that you do for one day, or for two weeks. That’s the key to my motivation and success. Plus, I’m riding my motorcycle more because I’m not carrying as much weight around.

My Plan to Stay Healthy
Control Portions
Learning about portion size was huge for me. I didn’t feel deprived at all and still ate what I love, like chicken, turkey, and even a little beef. I started seeing results after the first 2 months.
Drink Differently
When I worked the night shift, I used to drink way too much soda just to stay awake. Now, I’m constantly drinking water and I feel so much better. It’s not hard for me anymore.
Plan and Prep Meals
I always used to snack. Now, I plan my meals in advance and eat healthier snacks like pineapples and apples. I have been able to remove fast food and sweets entirely.
