Finally an answer

The appointment arrived and as it was short notice I never actually managed to see the Doctor but instead saw a Nurse Practitioner (not what you want when you don't appear to be getting better, or so I thought).

After an examination and some questions, she informed my wife and I that she thought she knew what the problem was and was disgusted and suprised about the diagnosis made previously.

Blood test were ordered and I was booked in for yet another visit.

Perhaps now I would be on the path to a recovery?

Why I continually gain weight

As I said in my last post, I have had a weight problem for many years and for those years I had absolutely no idea why!

About six years ago I had an attack if you like.

I was working as the manager of a security company, this meant long and unsocial hours, it was 0530 and I had just finished opening up a clients premises and was headed home to get showered and ready for the day ahead.

For some unexplained reason I was unable to get back out of the house, I felt powerless and out of control of my own mind and body... god that was scary!

Realising that for whatever reason I could not go back to work I curled up on my bed and began to cry.. before summoning up the courage (I was frightened at this point) to call my wife at work and ask her to come home because there was something wrong with me and I didn't know what to do.

She arrived home and I now know that on seeing me she was equally as scared and frightened although she didn't let me see that.

The Doctor was called and after a brief examination he declared that I had suffered a mental breakdown and proceeded to prescribe me with anti depressants and sleeping tablets.

Several weeks later with no improvement my wife insisted that we make a return visit to the Doctor (easier said than done when I had become introverted and almost reclusive in my behavior)

A bit about me

My name is Pete Craig, I am 37 years old and for many years have suffered with uncontrolled weight gain for no apparent reason... more about that shortly.

Having discovered the problem through years of trial and error and by putting into practice many of the tools I have learned as a result of being a Life Coach I am now a confident and happy father, husband and boss.

The things I have learned I have put to paper as a Free Report that you can access through my website www.appliedcoaching.co.uk 

Through this report and my "Weight Management and Mindset Coaching Program" I hope to help others achieve the same levels of success and happiness that I now and enjoy and that I believe everyone is entitled to enjoy permanently not just every now and then, don't you agree this is how it should be?
