I Always Believed I Can’t Lose Weight – I Don’t Any More

In my eyes my adult life is in two parts. Not the before and after drastic weight loss. Yes, weight loss is involved but not how you would think.

In my case the before is (yes being overweight) before I was struck with diabetes. After is obviously the fall out after getting (and dealing with) it.

I was in my mid twenties and I was overweight. Not drastically but I was nearly always carrying around an extra 15 to 20 pounds.

I had tried to lose weight many times in the past but motivation was the key for me. Actually lack of motivation was the key for me. I just assumed I can’t lose weight.

I had tried to lose the weight before and when I tried hard it took for ever to shift. If I stopped for a little while it come piling back on in double quick time.

Then disaster, or what seemed like disaster for me. Struck with diabetes, and all the possible complications that come with it.

I was told in no uncertain terms to drop the weight, or suffer. I had to stop thinking I can’t lose weight and start thinking I can lose weight.

What the hell was I gonna do? I was convinced for most of my adult life that I simply can’t lose weight. I needed to get hold of a dieting system that worked for me.

As I like to be a bit obsessive, I wanted something that I could follow step by step. Something that gave me a list of daily tasks that I could tick off one by one.

If the steps were planned meals or exercise routines then I’d need to tick off that it was complete. This way I know I’m sticking to the game plan.

I found and tried all sorts of diets and contraptions. I read a lot of Ebooks and paper books but I didn’t feel fully comfortable with any of them.

I actually discovered a neat system that has a computer generated diet planner. Better still it doesn’t restrict my meal sizes! It takes all the stress out of planning the correct meals and diet.

I mentioned earlier that I like to tick the boxes off when I’m doing something, well this system ticks all the boxes for me. Forgive the little joke there!

I can tell you from my own experiences that you are most likely wrong if you are assuming you can’t lose weight. If you are yet to find a system that works for you then maybe that system is the one I’m using?

I’ve reviewed a few of the things I’ve tried on my blog. My fav system is obviously ranked number one there as it works great for me. Check them out as you’ve got nothing to lose but a bit of fat!
