ULTIMATE EATING HABITS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

ultimate eating habits that changed my life for the better.

My name is Betty and this is a part of my story. At the age of 50, and a mother to two teenagers, I managed to stay fit and healthy when I was younger. In my younger days, I loved nothing more than wearing a bikini and beach parties with friends.

The pleasure that I got from all the guys “looking” my way, still makes me smile with envy, even after so many years. Even though I acted like it bothered me, I can admit now getting all that extra attention felt really good. I felt extra special and really took care of my figure through proper dietary habits.

I had never imagined that as I got older, I would miss the “good old days” of the guys hitting on me whenever I was on the beach. My life changed as I grew older, particularly so, after having children.

But, there I was.

My marriage lacked the “fire” it once had after the honeymoon period. Even after having two children, things were smooth. As time went by, I stopped being “intimate” with my husband. The weekends that we once spent together lying naked in bed, or in the shower, while the kids were away at gradma’s place, gave way to business trips on weekends once the children started growing. He thought that I wasn’t attracted to him anymore.

But really – I felt so fat and ugly that the thought of him seeing a fat elephant naked in front of him made me sick. I knew if he suddenly realized just how bad and ugly I looked now he would be disgusted and file for a divorce right away.

I was running out of time to get back the body I once used to have before I got married...

With my already faltering health, one day I was feeling really down on myself after reading an article that basically said my height and weight meant I was morbidly obese. My husband was sitting at the kitchen table having his breakfast so I asked him a simple question (one that I now regret).

“Mark - this article says that according to my body's statistics, I’m really fat. Do you think of me that way?”

Momentarily, he was shocked and stumbled over his words trying his best not to hurt my feelings. Being diplomatic, he mustered up the courage to say, “No, I think you’re just a little bigger than you used to be”.

At that time, my younger son walked by and said. “But Mom, my friends say that…You Are Fat!”

My husband laughed harder than I’d seen him laugh in 10 years at this blatant remark. Not paying attention to this joke, my son continued to walk up to his room. It took all I had not to burst into tears in front of my husband and son.

I knew right then and there I had to do something. My husband may be a nice man, but he didn’t deserve the woman I was becoming. Not just my weight, but my attitude, my health, my mindset. Everything was falling apart!

And It Wasn’t Because I Wasn’t Trying My BEST!

I did every diet you could imagine. From Grapefruits to starvation, Atkins, Paleo, Weight Watchers…you name it and I tried it but the only weight I ever watched was mine going up!

Sure, I’d lose some weight for a little while. Only to eventually watch in horror as I gained it all back and then some!

I was so tired of the roller coaster I truly felt like I was…

I Mean, If This Plan Could Work For Her… Doesn’t It Stand To Reason It Could Work For Me Too?

Instantly I was blown away. All my favorite foods were there and it told me EXACTLY what to eat for each meal. All the recipes too! And even a grocery list I was able to print right off and take with me to the grocery store. It couldn’t have been more convenient.

Well, actually it could. Because the program also gave me options for eating out too! I could replace any meal I wanted with restaurant or fast food options. I was in heaven!
