I look at my life in two stages, before and after. I know you’re probably thinking before the weight loss and after the weight loss, but that’s not the case here.
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 didn’t think I was too overweight for someone in my mid twenties. I regularly carried about fifteen pounds extra.
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“.
I had tried to lose the weight before and when I tried hard it took for ever to shift. If I stopped for a little while it come piling back on in double quick time.
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.
What the hell was I gonna do? I was convinced for most of my adult life that I simply can’t lose weight. I needed to get hold of a dieting system that worked 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 had differing levels of success with all manner of dieting systems and gizmos. Some quite expensive! I read plenty of books and lots of Ebooks.
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?
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!
