I Always Thought I Can’t Lose Weight - Not Any More
Health and Fitness July 2nd, 2009In 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 knew I was carrying a bit of extra girth but I never thought 15 pounds or so was dangerously overweight for someone in my mid twenties.
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 disaster, or what seemed like disaster for me. Struck with diabetes, and all the possible complications that come with 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.
What on earth was I going to do? I always thought I can’t lose weight and that’s it. I find a system that worked and find it fast.
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 actually discovered a neat system that has a computer generated diet planner. Better still it doesn’t restrict my meal sizes! It takes all the stress out of planning the correct meals and diet.
I said I like to tick boxes as I go, well this system ticks all the right boxes for me. Was that a bit of a pun there?
I can tell you from my own experiences that you are most likely wrong if you are assuming you can’t lose weight. If you are yet to find a system that works for you then maybe that system is the one I’m using?
Read a review on my site of some of the stuff I’ve tried. Clearly my current and fav system is going to be ranked number 1. What have you got to lose? Hopefully a bit of weight!
