My Sad, Sad Weight Loss Story
At around the age of 45 I started getting that middle age spread. I really didn't notice it at first. My clothes just kept getting tighter and tighter, but for some reason(probably denial) I just kept squeezing into them. Finally I couldn't do that anymore so I did my usual thing...starve, skip meals, and exercise, but for some reason that didn't work either.
That was what I always had done to lose weight and it had always worked 100% in the past. Not now. I didn't know what else to do so I started looking into different diets. I tried a few including Atkins, South Beach, and I even went on a church wide fast for a month. I had the most success fasting...I lost 5 pounds. BIG WHOOP!
I even took some over the counter diet pills. Everything I tried plateaued after just a few pounds came off. Eventually I resigned myself to being pleasingly plump.

I Was Totally Embarassed
When my son came home from the Navy on leave he teased me unmercifully about my weight gain. You see, he and I are very sarcastic. It's just our way of having fun. I've never restricted him in any way from speaking his mind to me and he never restricted me. So over time we have both developed some pretty thick skin, but I have to tell you I was really hurt by what he said. He wasn't being cruel, he was just joking, but the truth can cut sharp. I knew I had tao do something. But what?
I'ts the first time I wanted to cry about my weight. Even when I was pregnant, I knew that a lot of the weight would come off in childbirth. I just knew I could get the rest off easily and I did.
But now I was older and nothing was working. I didn't know what else to do.

Accidental Weight Loss Success
A chance phone call with a chiropractor led me to a website where I learned about a way to achieve fast, safe and easy weight loss. Still I was skeptical. I tried it because I knew I could get my money back if it didn't work.
You know what? In just nine days I lost 8 inches of ugly fat, 2 inches off my waist and 3 1/2 pounds. My energy went right through the roof. And I haven't looked back since. Over the next few months I got back down to my college weight!!!
I'm wearing a size 5 jeans now. I can hardly believe it. I've stayed on the maintenance system for the last three years and each day when I look in the mirror I can hardly believe it. I look younger and younger. My husband has even been mistaken for my dad. Whoa that didn't go too well!
So I'll never diet again. Diets suck. You have to find something that works and something you can stick with. I've found both.
Hey, you might like to take a look at what I'm doing. There's no obligation and who knows, it may help you get into your skinny jeans.
