Have you ever seen someone across a room and just known...this person will be my friend? Brian Brister is one of those people for me. He is the biggest breath of fresh air and has lost a whopping 153 pounds. Brian says, "Food is what I did." Growing up in a Southern household...it is just the way things are done, people. Brian is from Mississippi and I am from Louisiana. Trust us...we know. His reason for wanting to lose weight? "I just wanted to be skinny." Little did he know, 50 pounds into his 153 pound weight loss, God would tell him to become a health coach. From that point on, everything has changed for Brian...and I do mean everything. He has built his emotional tool belt to maintain his weight loss and pay it forward. This is one of my favorite conversations about life long food addiction and how it can be conquered. One of the ways to do it: buy your will power at the grocery store.
