Choices, Choices

Before deciding what food I need to buy, what choices to pick between whole wheat bread, whole grain bread and so on, I first had to really look at what eating right plan to choice. Over the many years of trying to and loosing weight was the daunting task of picking the right plan for me. Recently over the past 6 months I have tried and used several diet (eating right) plans. From the BFC (the belly fat cure to the 17 day diet). I will tell you I lost weight on both from 15-18 pounds. So they both were good, but I had to decided what I could stick with and do for a long period of time. About 15 years ago I did loose around 80lbs.

A little history here: I started to gain weight around the age of 13 for one main reason. I was very active as a child. I skated, played volley ball and so on. When I was around 12 I had to have surgery on my feet because of having an extra bone in both of my feet. After that the doctor took me out of gym in school, told me I couldn't roller skate. I did skate anyway and broke my ankle because of my feet being weak. Well anyway this started my weight to head up hill. By the time a graduated from high school I was hitting 210, yes I said it 210. About 20 years ago I decided that enough was enough so in my 30's I decided to loose the weight. It took me a year and 1/2 and lost down to 135lbs. I couldn't remember when I every weight that. It was after I lost the weight I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Now I need someone to explain to me how I could not have any of the above until after I lost weight. SO FRUSTRATING needless to say.

Well anyway when I decided to loose the weight, I decided to buy the Richard Simmons deal a meal where I didn't have to count the calories it was done for me, it told me how many starches, proteins, veggies, fats and dairy I could have a day, plus it through in a few bonuses and freebies. It was easy and something I could stick to. I could eat out and eat fast food if I wanted to. The plan told me what I could get at different places and stick to the plan.

Over the years I think I just become frustrated that I was doing everything right, lost the weight to become healthy and in my mind what good did it do just to be told after all my hard work that I had high blood pressure and diabetes. Needless to say I started to eat my old way and didn't care. NOW here we are today and the scale is climbing up again.

I decided to head back to my friend Richard Simmons tried and true and prove by me that deal a meal works for me. So people have ask me how I plan on loosing it and this is what I have decided. The last time I lost I did the deal a meal and walled every day most days anyway.

So, it all boils down to you have to see what works for you, what you can do, stick to. I fully believe eating right doesn't have to be a job or depressing. You have to do a eating plan that you body responds to. Everyone on is different and one doesn't fit all. So Richard is the way for me to go.

I will sign off with this, I am asking that anyone that wishes to say a prayer for me and all the other struggling with their weight. It isn't easy, but I do believe it can be done, but I have to take one minute, one hour, one day at a time. Goodnight for now an hope you continue to tune in and give me your feedback and support.
