'Who am I,' you ask?
I'm Gregg McBride. A former advertising creative director and now a freelance writer and screenwriter. I appear as "normal-sized" to the people I interact with day in and day out. But dig underneath the surface and you'll find that my life has been one heck of an adventure -- literally tipping from one end of the scale to the other.
In fact, when I stepped on a digital scale one day shortly after graduating from college, it registered 'ERR.' I thought the scale was broken. I later discovered when reading the manual that the "Error" message it displayed didn't mean the scale wasn't working -- it meant that the scale didn't register any weight over 450 pounds, which I then realized was at least how much I weighed at the time.
Believe it or not, it was when I got really sane about getting healthy and when I stopped trying to "trick" my body that my body responded. And the rest is history. Except for my fun stories, recipe ideas, reflections on health and more.
