Imagine a moment in your life that stopped you in your tracks, a moment that served as a jolting wake-up call, prompting you to reassess your path and inspire a profound change. These pivotal moments often come unexpectedly, catching us off guard, and altering the course of our lives. These moments usually serve to make lasting changes in our lives. With weight loss, however, we struggle. It takes time and consistency to gain weight and it takes even more time and consistency to lose it. When we all take the opportunity to view before and after pictures of ourselves in either state, the moment catches us. Though it may not inspire a change, it does make a profound impact. I know, because I have seen the images of myself, and choose to forget them. I ask myself: How did I let myself get away like that? That is the same question many people ask daily. The journey is not easy but it does lead to a healthier more vibrant life. As I can attest, excess weight can be an all-encompassing burden, affecting not only our physical health but our emotional well-being as well. It's more than just a number on the scale; it can lead to diminished self-esteem, strained relationships, and a life overshadowed by health challenges. In my case it was high blood pressure and insulin dependent Type 2 Diabetes. I would tell myself that I was going to get fit, then something would get in the way and I would forget. It is an emotional toll and physically exhausting, reinforcing the notion that the journey to weight loss is more than skin deep.
I am currently just finishing my new book Reclaiming Health. I wanted to give reader a story of not only how I gained but most importantly, how I lost 75 Pounds in less than a year. I will give only a sneak peek into the secret: consistency.
