One of the easiest things in life is gaining weight! Manufacturing companies have made it a lot easier for people to gain the weight, by marketing items that are loaded with additives, chemicals, and more additives. They have found fun ways to market to our children, and other ways to hid some of the nutrient facts. They use big fancy words so us dumb people think it’s okay to consume.
I have yo-yoed with my weight for many years, in 8th grade I remember hitting 185 on the scale, it got to the point I refused to step on the scale. Before I knew it I hit 285, this was one of the hardest things for me. I didn’t want to be fat, but I was clueless with how to lose weight, I didn’t eat much, I walked a lot but nothing seemed to work. So I looked for that miracle drug.
What I found was Redux. Redux was my miracle pill, I would take a pill and I would magically lose weight. After stopping the pill due to a recall, I noticed I was still losing weight and managed to go from 285 to 205. Of course getting to the 205 mark took a few years, however, I did it. Then I got pregnant and well my weight went on the upside. I mean after all I was eating for two right?
I could no longer get my miracle pill, I was getting depressed and I hit one of my all time highs 300 pounds. I started working part time and without doing anything different I dropped down to 255, I was feeling pretty good about myself and the fact I was dropping weight. I ended up leaving my job and I went through another depression stage.
I turned to peanut butter fudge, it was ever so good! I then looked for that miracle drug with no luck. Now I am at my all time high of 315, I knew things had to change, I started working out eating differently, and well the weight didn’t go far, looked into somethings to discover I was insulin resistant. Was placed on a medication to help correct the problem while hoping this was my miracle drug.
While I have had no luck with miracle drugs, I have learned a lot a long the way. While I am still not down to 205, I am down to 277 from 315. I did take a miracle drug for a few months. I also am currently doing the almased diet. However, I have learned one of the hardest things in life is losing weight.
I have learned I have to be strong and stay on track eating healthy, working out, and giving it my all, even if I am not getting encouragement from others.
I have to do this for me and no one else and for all you looking for a miracle drug there isn’t one. The miracle is learning of all the bad things companies are putting in your food and making a change.
