I Always Believed I Can’t Lose Weight – I Don’t Any More
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 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.
I suppose you could say getting diabetes is a disaster, maybe not a real disaster but with all the complications that come with it, it certainly seems to be a disaster.
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.
As I like to be a bit obsessive, I wanted something that I could follow step by step. Something that gave me a list of daily tasks that I could tick off one by one.
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 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 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.
I mentioned earlier that I like to tick the boxes off when I’m doing something, well this system ticks all the boxes for me. Forgive the little joke there!
If you too think you can’t lose weight then let me tell you from experience you are 99% wrong in thinking that. Maybe you just haven’t found the system that works for you yet. Maybe that system is the one I use?
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!
