The Reason I Failed So Many Times With Weight Loss…(and how I FINALLY got past it!)
"I'm going on a diet/trying a new program on Monday," would be the declaration I made to as many people as possible.
When I made the announcement I had the fullest intention of following through, thus allowing me to be super fit and look super lean.
However, the longest I would last when I attempted these extreme programs would be 3-4 days max, and, before I knew it I would say "screw it" and dive back into eating whatever I wanted.
After a few months I would try again--only to fall flat on my face in less than a week. I would maintain working out; however, it was the nutrition side of things where I kept falling short over and over again.
The reason why? I had the "go big or go home" mentality.
I wanted to see immediate results - and when I did not have the body I desired in less than a week I would tell myself, "this isn't worth it" and go back to eating whatever I wanted.
However, all of that changed for me around 18 months ago - and today - I am the leanest I've ever been, have more energy than I did 20 years ago and am in the best shape I've ever been in.
How did I do it - by arriving at the following conclusion...
Small steps, over time, lead to tremendous change.
Eating right (notice I did not say diet) and exercise are things that need to be dedicated to daily - and stepping into it wisely and willingly, understanding it's a process is the key.
Here are four of the small steps I took that led to tremendous change.
#1 - I stopped drinking my calories!
I know I write about this a lot, but this small step will produce unbelievable results. (Soda's--even DIET soda's, sweet tea and alcohol will put on the pounds--period!)
Pretty much all I drink now is black coffee and water - and while it took me awhile to get to this point, it has absolutely made a difference in the way I look and feel.
#2 - I became serious about lifting weights!
I used to believe that "cardio is king," and that by doing around and hour and a half of cardio 5-6 times per week I would lose weight and get healthy...
...which is not the case at all! I was actually gaining weight and was always tired/lacking energy.
Until I became more serious about lifting weights.
Adding lean muscle allows our bodies to burn more fat throughout the day - and a great weight workout actually can leave us feeling energized rather than depleted.
#3 - I eliminated around 70% of my sweets and "wheats!"
If you follow me on social media--you know I LOVE sweets (especially ice cream and doughnuts!)
In the past (when I would attempt a diet and then fail) I would make the commitment to not eat anything sweet for a week, or at times--a month (and we all know how that went!)
However, over time I realized an occasional "reward" is a good thing--I just enjoy desserts in moderation now rather than having to have them at every meal.
And bread - I LOVE IT - but when I began to eliminate it from my daily food intake I saw pretty incredible results.
#4 - I started Isagenix
My weight went down from 240 to 215...and then I hit a wall!
It didn't matter what I did--it seemed the scale was stuck at 215 and was unwilling to show me any mercy (no matter what I did.)
Someone told me about some nutritional products...and...probably like you, I was skeptical (after all, I purchased nearly every weight loss product that had an infomercial!)
However, after a month of being stuck at 215 I thought, "what do I have to lose" and ordered some products.
To say Isagenix has impacted my health would be an understatement - I've experienced results unlike I've ever imagined. I went from 215 to 199, my body fat has significantly decreased (as most of my clothes no longer fit) - AND - I NEVER get tired/sleepy during the afternoon anymore - I am literally WIDE OPEN all day long.
At the end of the day you have to find what works for you - personally, I've tried just about everything on the market and Isagenix is working for me.
If you feel like a failure in the area of weight loss - I promise you CAN do this! Which is why I wrote the eBook, "I Can Win With Weight!" (The best $7 investment you will ever make in regards to your health!)
I believe you CAN - because - if I can do it - you can too!!!
The book is easy to read and easy to follow. AND...you will get a 10 day devotional mailed to you every day for the first 10 days as well as receive an invite to join a private Facebook group.
