I Always Thought I Can’t Lose Weight - Not Any More
June 26th 2009 -
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 was in my mid twenties and I was overweight. Not drastically but I was nearly always carrying around an extra 15 to 20 pounds.
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“.
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.
I figured I should go with something that suits me. I like things nice and orderly. I’m a bit OCD so I like to know I’ve ticked the boxes and I’m doing things right.
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 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!
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!
