In my eyes my adult life is in two parts. Not the before and after drastic weight loss. Yes, weight loss is involved but not how you would think.
Before for me was before I was told I had type two diabetes. One hell of a shock I can tell you. After is everything that came after.
I was in my mid twenties and I was overweight. Not drastically but I was nearly always carrying around an extra 15 to 20 pounds.
I had tried to shift it many times but motivation is a damn difficult beast to master. I was stuck in the mindset of "I can't lose weight".
When I was motivated it seemed to take ages to lose a few pounds. When I wasn't motivated it seemed to take about a day to pile it back on.
Then came the bombshell of diabetes. I know it's not the end of the world but at the time it really feels like it.
I was told in no uncertain terms to drop the weight, or suffer. I had to stop thinking I can't lose weight and start thinking I can lose weight.
Just what was I gonna do? Up until now I believed I can't lose weight. Now I'm faced with finding a system that works for me.
I figured I should go with something that suits me. I like things nice and orderly. I'm a bit OCD so I like to know I've ticked the boxes and I'm doing things right.
If the steps were planned meals or exercise routines then I'd need to tick off that it was complete. This way I know I'm sticking to the game plan.
I found and tried all sorts of diets and contraptions. I read a lot of Ebooks and paper books but I didn't feel fully comfortable with any of them.
I eventually settled on a step by step system that allows me to eat what I want, and not skinny little rations. It comes with a computer diet planner that takes all the stressful work out of planning meals.
Remember me saying I like to tick off the boxes every day? This system does that for me. Pardon the pun but this system ticks all my boxes!
Still think you can't lose weight? I can tell you from my experience that isn't the case. Maybe like me you need a system that holds your hand and works for you. That system could be the same one I'm using, who knows?
I've reviewed a few of the things I've tried on my blog. My fav system is obviously ranked number one there as it works great for me. Check them out as you've got nothing to lose but a bit of fat!
