I am a 54 year old woman who has been trying for years to stop gaining wieght and start losing. I have been on every diet for quick results a quick fix never worked for me if it did it was wasted effort only to gain three times the lose.back when I returned to many years of bad eating habits. I am a diabetic and I recently about two and a half years ago was determined to get to my healthy wieght once and for.all. I saw a Dr. who sent me to a class to learn about how our body reacts when we try and skip meals it dumps glucose into our bodies who h causes.eight gain and stresses.our liver and pancrease so.it pushes our bodies.to the limit and puts us closer to.being diabetic if the gain continues.and eating wrong. I learned its all about balancing our garbs with protien and a starch and using a small pun hen plate instead of.standard big dinner plates is a good idea to help us learn portion control and after a while its been two and a half long years for me but I started. Dry disabled at 445. And I in this time with the help and inspiration of a great Dr. was inspired to believe I could do this and just remember only look at a goal of ten pounds at a time and as time goes.on and we.get used to it being our goal to eat healthy for the rest of our li es and someday not to far away we will be at our goal and do.all the things we miss being to.big to.enjoy life really. I am at a 331 so it sounds like alot but let me tell you it feels so much better here than were I was and I.see my friends.and family and some.haven't seen me since I.was.at my heaviest so they look at me and say oh my god.did.you lose wievht and how.did.you lose.it? So I don't notice it or really vet to.appritiate what I have done by eating right and balance is key portions are.key.and sugar is.out so I wanted to.share if it can help.someone else I feel its worth the embarasment of how much I used to wievh. My email is foxybabe1955@yahoo.com if I can be of any help feel free to share your story also we can do this thing. Thanks for listening your friend in the eforts to.become healthy that's what is my goal.
