Happy Holidays!

eh, can I come? *licks lips*

I know a woman who spent an absolute fortune on 'lighter life' last year. She paid humungous amounts of money to have 'the right food' delivered to her door. She lost 30 plus pounds very quickly, gained it all back in no time because there was no follow up. I HATE that kind of exploitation and unfortunately with dieters, these are the stories you remember. That woman is a dear friend to me, and true to her nature, is never begrudging of my weight loss. She may be 10 pounds heavier than she was when she started on 'lighter life', but she is a truly beautiful woman, and I treasure her friendship.


You have done fantastically well, you get a 'A'!


You owe me the cup of tea I just spluttered over my keyboard

Happy, happy holidays everyone!

I didn't use a "diet", I just monitored calories using FitDay.com.

I didn't read any books, I just did research on the internet.

I didn't continue eating unhealthy foods, I started eating clean every day.

I didn't join a gym, I just ran and biked on my own.

I didn't buy any expensive "diet food in boxes", I just ate whole foods.

I didn't use a trainer, I became the trainer.

I didn't use a nutritionist, I became the nutritionist.

I didn't use a support group, I just joined an online forum.

I didn't buy a lot of expensive appetite suppressant pills, I just drank a lot of green tea.

I didn't lose the weight with the goal of losing weight, I lost it for a lifestyle change.

I didn't fail in my goal to lose weight, I just decided that failure was not an option.

I didn't think I had this much to lose when I started, but apparently I did.
