And that was nothing scientific. There was no trainer, there was no dietician. It was just me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pompeo said that his weight started to become an issue after getting elected to Congress in 2010 and that it\u2019s always been hard for him to lose it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me it\u2019s about getting it right and being sufficiently disciplined,\u201d Pompeo continued.<\/p>\n<p>He said that he chooses much healthier food options when he goes out to eat with his family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor our family, food is where we gather. We are Italian and we like to get together around a good meal of pasta and bread and cheeses and dessert. We are still going to enjoy these big meals with family and friends except I am going to be the guy that says, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019ll have a salad,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cIt was a virtuous cycle instead of the vicious one that I had been in, and I\u2019ve managed to lose the high side of 90 pounds in six months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI put on almost a hundred pounds over the course of 10, 11 years \u2014 years that coincided with my foot injury \u2014 so I told myself that was the reason I gained so much weight,\u201d he said. \u201cThe joint just wore out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is hard, and it\u2019s not permanent. There\u2019s no guarantees that I\u2019ll still be at whatever I weigh now, but if you realize that good things can happen if you keep at it, you can do it as well,\u201d Pompeo said.&nbsp;\u201cThe biggest benefit I had in this journey was an enormously supportive wife and family. Everybody supported my effort to get healthy, which was the real focus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he dropped the weight to get ready to run for president, Pompeo said that he is gearing up for years well beyond then and not for political reasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy son\u2019s getting married in July, and I wanted to be healthier and be around for what I hope the Lord will bless us with as grandkids before too terribly long. I\u2019m not supposed to talk about that, I\u2019m told,\u201d Pompeo said.&nbsp;\u201cMy clothes fit better, and I have more energy. I want to be there for my family and hopefully lots of grandchildren.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
