I Always Thought I Can’t Lose Weight – Not Any More

I see my adult life as part one and part two. Although there is weight loss involved here it’s not why I see it in two parts.
In my case the before is (yes being overweight) before I was struck with diabetes. After is obviously the fall out after getting (and dealing with) it.
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 trying and losing weight it seemed to take for ever to drop a couple pounds. When I stopped trying I gained any losses back almost overnight.
Then disaster, or what seemed like disaster for me. Struck with diabetes, and all the possible complications that come with it.
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.
What the hell was I gonna do? I was convinced for most of my adult life that I simply can’t lose weight. I needed to get hold of a dieting system that worked for me.
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 the steps were planned meals or exercise routines then I’d need to tick off that it was complete. This way I know I’m sticking to the game plan.
I had differing levels of success with all manner of dieting systems and gizmos. Some quite expensive! I read plenty of books and lots of Ebooks.
I actually discovered a neat system that has a computer generated diet planner. Better still it doesn’t restrict my meal sizes! It takes all the stress out of planning the correct meals and diet.
I said I like to tick boxes as I go, well this system ticks all the right boxes for me. Was that a bit of a pun there?
Still think you can’t lose weight? I can tell you from my experience that isn’t the case. Maybe like me you need a system that holds your hand and works for you. That system could be the same one I’m using, who knows?
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!
