00:03.440 --> 00:06.350
mm . Yeah .

00:07.240 --> 00:10.680
I do have a family history of morbid

00:10.680 --> 00:13.660
obesity . My mother was um

00:14.140 --> 00:16.700
large . She was morbidly obese and my

00:16.700 --> 00:19.410
grandmother was morbidly obese . Her

00:19.410 --> 00:22.100
mother was morbidly obese . My parents

00:22.110 --> 00:24.277
really didn't have any weight issues .

00:24.277 --> 00:27.940
Um but both of my brothers um Have been

00:27.940 --> 00:29.940
really heavy . My little brother is

00:29.940 --> 00:32.120
still on the heavy side . My father ,

00:32.120 --> 00:33.953
which I met later in life . He's

00:33.953 --> 00:36.064
Canadian . I met him when I was about

00:36.064 --> 00:38.176
35 . Big Man , huge man . So yes , he

00:38.176 --> 00:40.660
was still is , he's about 90 years old ,

00:41.140 --> 00:43.610
but very overweight . My mother's very

00:43.610 --> 00:45.940
obese . I want to say she's about 3 50 .

00:45.950 --> 00:48.160
My sister's almost £400 . Most of the

00:48.160 --> 00:50.670
women in my family do well with their

00:50.670 --> 00:54.530
weight , but it's the men that have the

00:54.540 --> 00:56.540
weight issues more than anything my

00:56.540 --> 00:58.707
grandma was having eventually she lost

00:58.707 --> 01:00.762
that . My mom was for a little bit ,

01:00.762 --> 01:02.929
were Puerto Rican and spanish . And my

01:02.929 --> 01:05.040
family my side of families tomorrow .

01:05.040 --> 01:07.390
So we like food when we get together ,

01:07.390 --> 01:09.730
that's what we do . We eat . Culture

01:09.740 --> 01:13.040
probably pays plays a very big part of

01:13.050 --> 01:16.280
how I eat or how I did it and

01:16.280 --> 01:19.360
how I grew up , I'm from the south .

01:19.360 --> 01:22.690
You food was everything

01:22.700 --> 01:26.420
for every occasion . There was food and

01:26.430 --> 01:29.790
we always had great fried chicken . I

01:29.800 --> 01:32.130
like fried chicken , mashed potatoes

01:32.130 --> 01:34.463
and french fries . I go to a restaurant ,

01:34.463 --> 01:37.040
I order steak and fries , portion size

01:37.040 --> 01:39.151
in America is uh , it's gotten out of

01:39.151 --> 01:41.260
control . Um , especially with fast

01:41.260 --> 01:43.000
food lifestyle that we have .

01:43.000 --> 01:44.944
Everybody's on the move . A lot of

01:44.944 --> 01:46.944
fried foods , a lot of heavy food ,

01:46.944 --> 01:50.060
fast food , hamburgers , Pizzas , pasta ,

01:50.060 --> 01:52.060
chicken , you know , things of that

01:52.060 --> 01:54.282
nature . Just high cholesterol . It was

01:54.282 --> 01:56.393
a gradual thing . Every time you went

01:56.393 --> 01:58.950
to the doctor it would go from 250 2 75 .

01:58.960 --> 02:01.182
I just watched my Waco then bumped over

02:01.182 --> 02:04.240
300 . And then the last time I went and

02:04.240 --> 02:07.850
went 322 and you go , good God almighty ,

02:07.850 --> 02:10.310
what am I doing to myself ? You know ?

02:10.310 --> 02:12.590
So these combination of things started

02:13.040 --> 02:15.262
started working out and that could make

02:15.262 --> 02:17.262
you gain weight actually because it

02:17.262 --> 02:19.262
stresses you out , you just have to

02:19.262 --> 02:21.318
find out what is causing it and take

02:21.318 --> 02:22.460
control over it . Is it easy ? No ?
