Finally, After 35 years of Dieting, Something That Works!
As I sit here trying to remember all my attempts at weight loss, my eyes are welling up with tears. There's no way I can count; there were just too many. Over the course of 35 years I tried Weight Watchers (MANY times), Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, South Beach Diet, Eat More Weigh Less, The Zone, Slim Fast, SparkPeople, Eat Right for Your Type, Dexatrim, Medifast, Atkins, Ornish, Mediterranean, Suzanne Somers, Susan Powter-Stop the Insanity, Jane Fonda Workouts, 6 Week Body Makeover, Protein Power, Shakeology, and the list goes on.
It's crazy, right?! I spent thousands of dollars and desperately wanted to believe that every attempt would get me to my goal. Some diets lasted for days, others for weeks or months, but none of them clicked. My cheat day(s) or meals turned into cheat weeks over time, and slowly my books, food, pills, shakes or materials disappeared into the spare bedroom so I didn't see the reminder of yet another failed diet attempt.
Bright Line Eating is different. Susan Peirce Thompson explained everything; from why I ate and how my brain worked, to what I needed to do to finally find peace around food. The science was fascinating and I swear she was writing about me the whole time! How on earth did she get in my head?
Was it easy? No, not the first few days. It's not a quick fix. But after the first 2 weeks my energy returned, my brain fog disappeared, I was no longer distracted by thoughts of food, and I was losing weight. Amazing!
My results? I lost 40 pounds and have achieved my first goal of reaching a healthy 128 pounds--the lowest I've weighed in 30 years--in a matter of months. (I'm 5' 4.5") Buying clothes online in single digits that fit right out of the box is a joy I can't put into words. If you've ever struggled with your weight, you understand.
Bottom line: I feel like a different person. In the morning I wake up feeling energized and optimistic. I don't dread getting dressed or fear hot days. My closet no longer contains 4+ different sizes of clothing. It's a new lease on life and I couldn't be more grateful!
If you're anything like me and struggle with your weight, if you've tried everything and want to give up, if you want to get healthy and feel vibrant and amazing just about every day, this book is for you!
