One day I was felling really down on myself after reading an article that basically said my height and weight meant that I was morbidly obese. My husband was sitting at the kitchen table so I asked him a simple question(one that I now regret)

“Mark – this website says I’m really fat. Do you think of me that way?”

He stumbled over his words trying his best not to hurt my feelings. After he mustered up the courage to say “No I think you’re just a little bigger than you used to be” my younger son walked by.

“But Mom… You are fat!”

My husband laughed harder than I’ve seen him laugh in 10 years. It took all I had not to burst into tears. My son kept on walking to his room.

I knew right then and there that I had to do something. My husband may be a nice man but he didn’t deserve the woman I was becoming. Not just my weight, but my attitude, my health, my mindset. Everything was falling apart ! 

And it wasn’t because I wasn’t trying my best ! 

I did every diet you could imagine. From Grapefruits to starvation,  Atkins, Paleo, Weight Watchers. But the only weight I watched was mine going up! Sure I’d lose some weight for a little while. Only to eventually watch in horror as I gained it all back and then some! 

I was so tired of the rollercoaster I truly felt like I was…

Doomed To A Life Of Being Overweight!

My health was faltering.   It was one thing to be upset by the rolls hanging off my belly or the love handle that made every top look terrible or the way my thighs made my jeans appear to be holding back the hoover dam!

It was more than that. As my weight crept up over the years, so had my blood pressure and cholesterol.

Doctor visits had turned into scolding sessions about how my weight was the cause of everything wrong with me – even a headache! 

And going through menopause with severe obesity was NOT something I wanted to do. 

And That’s When I Got Serious & Started To Look For Answers 

I spoke to a good friend of mine who had lost weight following a program she had found on the internet. Now I’ve always been skeptical about things I see online they always seem to say one thing and then give you something else. 

But my friend swore by this program and told me all about it. It worked for her, she said because she was able to customise the food plan and she didn’t really need to exercise at all. 

She had me hooked when she said “No Exercise”. At my age my body is just so worn out I don’t have the energy of fortitude to go to the gym, where a bunch of young girls would make me look like a fool! 

So my friend told me more about this simple customised plan. She explained the idea of switching our “Body’s Fuel”. Women especially have to deal with this. Our bodies are basically running on sugar or glucose all day long, this is why we crave chocolate and sugary drinks all the time. 

And the more we eat – the more we crave it. But there is a better fuel – the very thing we are carrying lots of – FAT. So if you can make your body burn FAT for energy, that is the real trick to losing weight effortlessly. In fact once you switch to “Fat Burning” mode,  you don’t even want to exercise! 

I was blown away with everything I was hearing. 

“The easy way to get into fat burning mode,” she said “is to eat certain foods, while staying away from a few food that are bad for you anyway” 

She went on to explain a lot of sciencey stuff, but at that point I was zoning out LOL! I just wanted to try it out for myself and see what happens.

I mean if this could work so well for her  – it stands to reason that it should work for me too 

After all this wasn’t where I planned to be at my age…I was always the skinny chick, all my friends told me how jealous they were of my hourglass figure  now the hourglass was more like a biscuit tub! 

I sat at home because I didn’t want to be seen like this by my old friends. I even skipped my old school reunion because I was so embarrassed by the way I looked. 

So I knew I had nothing to lose if I gave this simple customised eating plan a try. I used the special software that asked me what my favorite foods are. I plugged in my height and weight(this is private by the way so no one else ever see it!). Then I clicked the button to get my customised plan.

Instantly I was blown away. All my favorite foods were in there. It told me EXACTLY what to eat for each meal. All the recipes and even a grocery shopping list to make thing really easy and convenient.

The plan even included options for eating out too. I could replace any meal with restaraunt or fast food options. I was in heaven.
