You know you have a problem when your 83 year old friend helps you to your vehicle with a bag of Epsom salt to soak your hurting knees from all the excess weight I lug around. Did I say, she is 83 and I am 54! Seriously?? Will I even make it to 83 at this rate. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome.
"I" have tried every diet, exercise program, prepackaged food programs and finally in 2003 Gastric Bypass surgery. Nothing "I" have done has been a successful in a healthy lifestyle change.
In steps God. On a recent girlfriend's day to Barnes & Nobles for a coffee and catch up, one of the girls picked up a copy of "The Daniel Plan" by Rick Warren. She proceeded to tell me she planned to start the 6 week Bible study on the upcoming Monday. When I started the program I weighted 273, was sluggish, tired and craving food 24x7. That was 3 weeks ago. I now weight in at 265, more energetic and positive with.........NO cravings. My taste buds are actually experiencing the flavors of food and enjoying them. Just as God intended when he created fruits, grains, vegetables and meat for us to enjoy. I haven't completed the recommended 10 day detox yet , but plan to start on Sunday, February 22.
So there ya go. My first post is finished. Moving forward.......with God as my pilot! Keep posted as I will share tips, tools, links and menus I find helpful along the way.
Love it, Tina!! Good job!!!
