I see my adult life as part one and part two. Although there is weight loss involved here it’s not why I see it in two parts.
My before part is before I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My after part is what happens after, dealing with the aftermath.
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’d been on the diet merry go round many times but I lacked the motivation. Plus I’d brainwashed myself into thinking 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.
My health now depended on me to shift the fat and most importantly to un-brainwash myself and to not believe I can’t 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.
What I thought I needed was something that I could follow step by step every day. Along the way ticking off the boxes when I’d finished a step.
If my daily tasks were meals or a few exercises then I wanted a neat list of things I could tick off when I’m done. If I stick to the plan I must be doing it right.
I tried a lot of dieting systems with varying levels of success. Some costing silly amounts of money. I joined online forums and read lots of books and Ebooks.
I eventually discovered a neat little step by step system that has a computer generated diet planner, which importantly doesn’t restrict your portion sizes. It makes it so quick and easy to plan 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?
You can check out a few things I’ve used and my current fav system in a few reviews I’ve put on my blog. You’ve got nothing to lose but weight!
