\u201cI lost more pounds than I ever dreamed I could at my age and so quickly.\u201d<\/strong> September 29 – 3 Min Read I managed to stay fit and healthy when I was younger. In college, I loved nothing more than wearing a bikini and going to the beach with my friends.<\/p>\n I still remember all the guys \u201clooking\u201d my way. <\/p>\n Even though I acted like it bothered me, I can admit now getting all that extra attention felt really good.<\/p>\n I never imagined that as I got older, I would miss the \u201cgood old days\u201d of guys hitting on me. <\/p>\n But, there I was.<\/p>\n My marriage lacked the \u201cfire\u201d it once had. I stopped being \u201cintimate\u201d with my husband. He thought that I wasn\u2019t attracted to him anymore.<\/p>\n But really – I felt so fat and ugly that the thought of him seeing me naked made me sick. <\/p>\n I knew if he saw just how bad I looked now he would be disgusted and file for a divorce right away.<\/p>\n One day I was feeling really down on myself after reading an article that basically said my height and weight meant I was morbidly obese. <\/p>\n My husband was sitting at the kitchen table so I asked him a simple question (one that I now regret). <\/p>\n \u201cMark – this website says I\u2019m really fat. Do you think of me that way?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n He stumbled over his words trying his best not to hurt my feelings. After he mustered up the courage to say, \u201cNo, I think you\u2019re just a little bigger than you used to be\u201d my younger son walked by. <\/p>\n \u201cBut Mom\u2026 You Are Fat!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n I knew right then and there I had to do something. My husband may be a nice man, but he didn\u2019t deserve the woman I was becoming. Not just my weight, but my attitude, my health, my mindset. Everything was falling apart!<\/p>\n And It Wasn\u2019t Because I Wasn\u2019t Trying My BEST!<\/strong><\/p>\n I did every diet you could imagine. From Grapefruits to starvation, Atkins, Paleo, Weight Watchers\u2026 but the only weight I ever watched was mine going up!<\/p>\n Sure, I\u2019d lose some weight for a little while. Only to eventually watch in horror as I gained it all back and then some!<\/p>\n I was so tired of the roller coaster I truly felt like I was…<\/p>\n Doomed To A Life Of Being Overweight!<\/strong><\/p>\n My health was faltering. It was one thing to be upset about the rolls hanging off my belly or the love handles that made every top look terrible or the way my thighs made my jeans appear to be holding back Hoover\u2019s Dam!<\/p>\n It was more than that. As my weight crept up over the years so had my blood pressure and cholesterol. <\/p>\n Doctor visits turned into scolding sessions about how my weight was the cause of everything wrong with me! Even a headache! <\/p>\n And going through menopause with severe obesity was NOT<\/strong> something I wanted to do.<\/p>\n And That\u2019s When I Got Serious & Started Looking for Answers<\/strong><\/p>\n I spoke to a good friend of mine who had lost weight following a program she found on the internet. I\u2019ve always been skeptical about things I see online – they always seem to say one thing then give you something else!<\/p>\n But my friend swore by this program and told me all about it. It worked for her, she said, because she was able to customize the food plan and she didn\u2019t really have to exercise at all. <\/p>\n She had me hooked when she said \u201cNo Exercise\u201d<\/strong>. At my age my body is just so worn out I don\u2019t have the energy or stamina to go to the gym with a bunch of young girls making me look like a fool!<\/p>\n So my friend told me more about this simple, customized plan.<\/p>\n She explained the idea of switching our \u201cbodies fuel\u201d<\/strong>. Women especially deal with this. Our bodies are basically running on sugar or \u201cglucose\u201d all day long. This is why we crave chocolate and sugary drinks all the time. <\/p>\n And the more of it we eat the more we crave it!<\/p>\n But there\u2019s a better fuel for us. One that runs off \u201cfat\u201d. If you can get your body to burn fat for energy, that\u2019s the real trick to losing weight effortlessly. In fact, once you switch to fat burning mode – you don\u2019t even want to exercise! <\/p>\n I was blown away with everything I was hearing! <\/p>\n The \u201ceasy\u201d way to get into fat burning mode, she said, was to eat certain foods while staying away from a few foods that are bad for you anyway.<\/p>\n She went on to explain a bunch of science stuff, but I tuned out at that point lol. I just wanted to try it for myself and see what happens!<\/p>\n I Mean, If This Plan Could Work For Her\u2026 Doesn\u2019t It Stand To Reason It Could Work For Me Too?<\/strong><\/p>\n After all, this wasn\u2019t where I planned to be at my age…<\/p>\n

My husband laughed harder than I\u2019d seen him laugh in 10 years. It took all I had not to burst into tears. And my son kept on walking to his room.<\/p>\n

I was always the skinny chick, all my friends told me how jealous they were of my hourglass figure. Now, my hourglass had broken and I looked more like a busted-open tube of biscuits!<\/p>\n
