| What diet plans have
you used in the past?
|
| Weight
Watchers: I've tried them twice and had success both
times. I actually
like that program a lot, but until I get past not taking
time for myself it's impossible for me to keep up with the
meetings. |
|
|
| Low
Carb/High Protein: This was life changing for
me. I was suffering from an insulin disorder without
knowing it. I followed it for 30 days to kickstart
my system and it worked like a charm. This was
supervised by a physician. |

| Why do you want to lose weight? |
| Having
a baby at the age of 40 was sobering. It was like I suddenly
woke up and realized that I wasn't going to live forever. I
sat in the hospital after having her and told myself that I didn't
want to go through life saying "I would have, I should have,
I could have". A few weeks after having my baby, I went
to the grocery store to do some shopping. I saw this woman
using one of those motorized carts to get around, and I knew
why. She was very, very large, and no doubt that there was
no way she could walk around the store. I thought it was
ironic that she needed the cart to shop for the very thing that
put her in that chair. Her buggy was loaded with tons of
junk food. The saddest part was that I knew that could be me
in 10 years.
All
of my reasons came down ot the same thing -- living. I mean
truly Living Life... I want to hike, run, ski, and rollerskate.
Oh sure, I could do those things now, but I want to do them
FREELY. I want to do the things I miss -- simple things like
riding the rides at a carnival and not so simple things like
cycling on the Blue Ridge. I want to be strong enough to
raise my daughter. I don't want to be a burden to my kids
when I get older. I've wasted a lot of time, and I don't
want to waste anymore!!
Incentives: Simply put -- ME!!
