In October 2008, I went to a doctor that I had been told would give me some pills to help me lose weight. He told me I needed to eat better and exercise. He recommended Weight Watchers. I had tried that countless times with some success but the last time I stuck to it well and couldn't lose. That was not the answer.
I was 350 lbs and miserable. My feet hurt when I woke up! My hips hurt when I walked or stood for any length of time and I had irregular heartbeats sometimes. (No one knew that) I was not on any meds but my Father had passed away from a heart attack and also had diabetes!
I would go to my sons games and waddle over to the field only to dread having to pick up and move or make the long trip back to the car. Sometimes people would park to close and I wouldn't be able to get into my door to drive home. I sat with my seat in the car all the way back and that way at least the seat belt fit.
Anyway I was miserable. I had tried to have another baby and finally given up hope.
One Sunday I sat in my Family room and the name of a weight loss program that I had seen advertised came into my mind. I immediately inched off the couch and went to the computer to do some research. After a few days of searching and reading success stories time and time again I determined to ask my husband what he thought. I was nervous about what he would say because we were really hurting financially. We hadn't had a paycheck for 3 months.
However, when I told him, he was so kind. He asked me to tell him about the program. I must have sounded hopeful because he said, if you think this is what you need to do then do it. That was enough for me! I was already convinced that I could make it work for me. I told myself if it had worked for so many others I would experience the same success.
I was committed and so I ordered. I couldn't believe it would be 5-7 business days. I was ready now!
