It’s time for a Weight Loss Testimony and it’s mine. I want to start with the acknowledgement that I inherited a small frame and thin body type from my Mom. So I am not responsible for being small and I am not responsible for my basic lack of interest when it comes to food. Mom generally would give a us a pass on food- if we don’t want it then don’t eat it. We don’t worry about the starving children in China (baby boomer child)! So there is not a lot of emotion tied into eating. Just the enjoyment of looking good in my clothing and feeling good; which is a pretty big deal over a lifetime.
I literally would stay in a range of 4 pounds for years. There is never a pregnancy to change my general physical condition. I don’t like exercise except to walk and this stays steady for years too. Something does happen to change my physical condition and it is called ‘Age’. I hit 50 and menopause enters my life. It’s not too rough, but how can a body run warmer for the rest of your life and reduce your metabolism?
This is when food does become an issue because weight is going on. I barely eat and I gain weight, as well as have cravings, which cause me to pace around the house avoiding the food pantry. The gene pool I come from is amazing as I observe both my parents eat horribly and neither ever get diabetes. Being raised eating pastries for breakfast and passing on dinner sometimes for dessert is my life.
Life’s Changes with my Dad and Son
I try to keep my weight off and and the slow creep is happening. I gain 20 pounds over a few years and learn to think about food way too much. My Dad changes all of this in the hospital with some major health issues. After Six weeks he is in an assistant home never to return to his house again, and his house is personally cleaned up and on the market by me. He lives a few months but the stress has taken my excess 20 pounds off.
Now the time for the weight loss testimony gets challenging. I am terrified to eat. I dread going out for meals because if I eat a standard female size serving I gain weight. For several years I don’t even bake any desserts and I pass by all candy, cookies and carb snacks in the grocery store, again for several years. This works for me but this is a really miserable way to live. Maybe you notice I love my sweets. It’s sweets or a good Steak that I love.
‘My Dad is gone a few years and our son proposes we all live together with his wife and our little one. We do the big move very successfully except for one problem, my daughter-in-law loves to cook! A very loving ‘food pusher’ is a challenge, and I really fail. We eventually get our own houses after a move to another state. I do some major physical D.I.Y. work on our ‘new to us 1994’ house to update it, but the weight problem is there. I am gaining weight gradually and my sugar cravings are out of control, plus I just can’t seem to get back to that ‘severe self control’ from before. I’ve never thought about food this much ever in my life!
New Chapter in Eating
I decide to start a home based business (this blog is part of it), in fact there is an article about our retirement plans and expectations. We have an opportunity with this business to try a weight loss supplement, and I can’t wait! At this point I am back up over 14 pounds from my lowest when my Dad was ill and I lost the 20 pounds. And I cannot fight the sugar craves taking over me emotionally. It takes all of my will power to avoid a sweet in the evening even when I’m not hungry. I keep failing and going to sleep upset with myself. I didn’t even ponder food or what I ate before menopause.
The product arrives for weight loss, and the weird thing is I don’t think about it much. I think the skeptic in me is kicking in. There is a little ‘snap packet’ that is a creamer to add to coffee. I don’t care for the taste much (at this time) so I add it to a little milk along with some chocolate syrup (now there is a new taste!). This is a passable way to drink it, but I don’t think much about the weight to lose. A week passes before I start to realize something very big. I NO LONGER HAVE SUGAR CARB CRAVINGS. So I start thinking maybe I’ll have a weight loss testimony to share someday.
At this point I realize I can get help with my coffee creamer a little and stop eating like a robot. I actually don’t want any sweets, the thought of sweets is unappealing. I barely have an appetite for anything, so I tune into the amounts. Nothing has ever been this easy. So with the remaining twenty or so packets I lose 7 pounds. One evening I accidentally take one of these instead of the sleep supplement that is available. I didn’t notice the affect of the snap during the day, but boy did I feel it laying in bed wide awake and feeling what the company calls the Thermo action-this is not like caffeine!
This is the Answer for me and I can Eat without Fear!
This is something I can do forever. I don’t care if we go out for dinner and I still bake cakes and cookies. The production of our snaps is stopped for about two months for developing a new taste, and it tastes Wonderful! I wasn’t happy with the lack of this product, but now it’s back and better than ever. I think I put on about 2 pounds during the wait, I will find out tomorrow and start my snaps.
(Tomorrow) Weighed myself and I went up 2.0 pounds in about 2 months. The slow creep up is my weight gain pattern. So officially I am 129 pounds with the goal to get back to my 120 weight I kept during my state of fear to eat Stage! I started at 134 three months ago, lost 7 in the month with my snaps and then had to wait two months for the new flavor. I am officially Back on track.
My ultimate goal is to get back to that 20 pound loss weight at 120, and then maybe another 5 more to lose. Now having said that, I suspect my body will stop when the weight is right. And, the bonus is none of our muscle matter becomes part of the weight loss success. This is huge for a weight loss product. My new lifestyle is my mocha weight loss creamer in the morning with or without my coffee, along with my vitamins after breakfast. This is so incredibly easy, just try it yourself for a month. This I can do forever, actually I plan too!!!
