I've mentioned before that I had weight gain issues at the beginning of my journey. There were allot of contributing factors to that weight gain, including depression, malnutrition and lack of exercise. In the beginning, being a victim was easy. After all "How could I fix the issue if I couldn't exercise?". At that point in time I didn't know that there were weight loss alternatives that didn't involve major diet changes and exercise. Don't get me wrong, diet changes and exercise are still highly recommend, but not the whole picture.

Flooding my body with water is something I used to help me loose the weight.
