All my life I dieted....lost a little weight....went off the diet...and gained the weight back plus more!!!!

10 years ago I promised myself I would not fail again!!!

Instead of going on a "diet" I went on a "Lifestyle" change.  Altering the way I ate, exercised and even thought about food!! It didn't happen over night....food was my best friend and I truly loved it!!!

But after days, weeks, months and even years I learned I could enjoy food...and even learned how to enjoy healthier foods!!!

It has been a real roller-coaster of a ride to get to 10 years out and I don't weigh 400 lbs.  Yippee!!!   In the beginning I would think....and pray...."Please God, don't let me gain the weight back"!  I really wasn't sure I could do it...I never could before....why would I think I could do it this time???? That was part of the problem before.....I didn't believe in myself....it took a long time....BUT I DO BELIEVE NOW!!!! I CAN DO ANYTHING I SET MY MIND TOO!!!! (And so can you!)

The road this far out is not easy...I can eat so much more than I could in the beginning, but I AM NOW IN CONTROL!!!
I know what to do to maintain my weight! 

I still do not eat bread, rice, pasta, potatoes or sugar.....but I don't even think about it any more!!!

Find what works for you!  And do it for a lifetime....and BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!!!!!

Sending you much love and success!

Ginger
