Why Listen To Me?

If I may, let me tell you a little about myself and my journey to success in this area of weight management. I have been on practically every diet known to man, and got rid of the excess pounds I wanted to get rid of, only to have them come back again and again, with some unwanted friends. I think I have three or four Lifetime Weight Watcher Pins - you know - the ones you get when you have achieved your weight goal and kept it off for a certain period of time.

When I reached my maximum weight of 195 lbs. it scared me and then when I went to the doctor for my regular check up and he told me that my blood pressure was too high and I needed to start taking blood pressure medicine, I had thyroid problems and would have to start taking thyroid medicine, my cholesterol was too high and would need to take medicine for that,

And I did. I found another eating program (that’s a more acceptable way of saying “diet”) that got most of the weight off - but I still hadn’t found the secret to keeping it off - not until I read some very insightful books and learned that my problem was not with the foods I was eating, or the amounts. Of course, only common sense would tell you that if you put more into your body than you used up your body would expand to hold the excess - but that still was not the problem. The problem was in the way I thought about food and myself. Once I had accepted that fact, I was then ready to move on to the steps that needed to be taken to change my thinking. A few simple steps was all that was necessary to change my entire preception about myself and my body.

During the next several weeks, I am going to share with you the progress with my trial on-line course that develop these steps. But, for now, I want to wish you all a happy day and may you find that you want to “Fly Like An Eagle”

P.S. By the way, I no longer am on any medications. Because I got rid of those excess pounds, my blood pressure, cholesterol and high blood sugar count went down and my thyroid went back to normal. That is one of the successes I have found in my quest for a “Perfect body weight”.
