Karen Daniel whose amazing weight loss story is testament to us all. She has lost 175 pounds and says, “It’s a lot harder to be fat than it is to work so hard at being fit.”

Karen weighed in at 375 pounds, was 45 years old, a wife and mother had high blood pressure, her knees were killing her and she was always hot. As if that wasn’t enough, she felt fatigued and could barely breathe at the slightest exertion. Everything was a chore for her.

She recalls that, “I wasn’t living … I was just existing.”

She hadn’t always struggled with her weight. but by the time she was age 22, she weighed 225 pounds.

Karen was a “Food Alcoholic.” Whenever something happened, I used food,” said Daniel. “It was like my drug of choice was food. I never did drugs or alcohol. I was addicted to food.

I ate all the time, I was stuffing my emotions, I was eating my emotions.” Sound familiar?
