In my eyes my adult life is in two parts. Not the before and after drastic weight loss. Yes, weight loss is involved but not how you would think.

My before part is before I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. My after part is what happens after, dealing with the aftermath.

I didn’t think I was too overweight for someone in my mid twenties. I regularly carried about fifteen pounds extra.

I had tried to lose weight many times in the past but motivation was the key for me. Actually lack of motivation was the key for me. I just assumed I can’t lose weight.

When I was trying and losing weight it seemed to take for ever to drop a couple pounds. When I stopped trying I gained any losses back almost overnight.

Then disaster, or what seemed like disaster for me. Struck with diabetes, and all the possible complications that come with it.

My health now depended on me to shift the fat and most importantly to un-brainwash myself and to not believe I can’t lose weight.

What on earth was I going to do? I always thought I can’t lose weight and that’s it. I find a system that worked and find it fast.

I figured I should go with something that suits me. I like things nice and orderly. I’m a bit OCD so I like to know I’ve ticked the boxes and I’m doing things right.

Depending on whether my daily tasks were certain exercise routines or planned meals I wanted to be able to tick off when they were done. I know I’m sticking to my system this way.

I had differing levels of success with all manner of dieting systems and gizmos. Some quite expensive! I read plenty of books and lots of Ebooks.

I eventually discovered a neat little step by step system that has a computer generated diet planner, which importantly doesn’t restrict your portion sizes. It makes it so quick and easy to plan meals.

I mentioned earlier that I like to tick the boxes off when I’m doing something, well this system ticks all the boxes for me. Forgive the little joke there!

Still think you can’t lose weight? I can tell you from my experience that isn’t the case. Maybe like me you need a system that holds your hand and works for you. That system could be the same one I’m using, who knows?

I’ve reviewed a few of the things I’ve tried on my blog. My fav system is obviously ranked number one there as it works great for me. Check them out as you’ve got nothing to lose but a bit of fat!
