ok here it is the secret all have been searching for....
i lost 90 pounds in one year. How? you may ask. it was so simple.
Are you ready?
Here's the answer:
i changed my mind.
That was it.
Here's how:
1) no more regular soda. i would go through a 12 pack in 3 days. i now drink diet wild cherry pepsi or diet coke, and make a 12 pack last at least 5 days at most a week. i also drink water and lemonade.
2) no more snacking on what ever i can find. i no longer buy king size m&m's, or worse yet the pound bags. i do not keep candy in the house. i do not deny myself, but i only have chocolate once in a great while.
3) take a walk, dance, get moving physically. Don't just sit on the couch. i no longer have cable so i can't watch tv (yes, i do rent movies from time to time). it's liberating not having the foolish thing on to sit mindlessly watching.
4) most important-----do not eat after 8pm (or two hours before bedtime).
5) Do eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.
6) Do take vitamins
7) find some supplement that works for you to help curb your appetite should you need it.
8) weigh yourself only once a week.
9) if you are a chocolate lover try using a vanilla scent to stave off the chocolate craving. i use vanilla scented detergent, room fragrance and body spray.
10) focus on the positive. So it's cold outside, walk for 10 minutes then get back into the warm house. If it's too hot go walk around the mall. Checking out the clothes you will soon be buying....
i hope that helps, it did me anyways. i wish all those w/ weight issues good luck if you want to lose it.
Have a happy!
