Fried WikiAll things Food, Diet and Weight Related

I was blow drying my hair and looked in the mirror and suddenly saw my fat self. I saw the bloat in my face, and I started my old pattern of oh my gosh, they’re going to see I am actually heavy. I mean, well, they know, but wow, look at me. I’m fat.

That’s me. I was heading to see some friends, and this was a realization that hit me…I wrote about it in one of my other blogs, Body, Mind & Solar back in May.

I just want to point out, I’m a real person, real weight issue, and tired of being fat. I’ve tried countless ways to lose weight, and after being overweight now for 20 years, I’m desperately trying to find an answer.

I even went for a Gastric Bypass Consult. I was ready man…I couldn’t wait. I finally decided to go for it….well, guess what. I have malabsorption issues. I can’t get the surgery, because after surgery, I may not absorb all my nutrients I need properly. I felt deflated at first, totally shot down, but then I realized, there was a reason I didn’t get it done. I may not understand the reason, but so be it. I made peace with it, but it felt like I’d hit a wall. Now what?

Who am I? I wear a size 22 jeans. Not as in 22 inches, I’m talking plus-size clothing size 22, pushing into 24’s. I’m not a girl with a 15 year old metabolism. I turned 40 this year, and I’m tired of being fat, plain and simple.

I went back on NutriSystem, and my husband joined along. He lost 30 pounds, I lost 10, then hit a wall. I just want to learn to control proper portions of food, move my body, and make progress, even if it is painfully slow. I want to start losing weight, not continually gain each year.

That’s why I decided to start looking at some of the ebooks. Look I’ve read most of the best sellers over the years, and haven’t found what I needed, so I sorted through some of the ebooks when I was over working on a different internet marketing project, and came across three ebooks that caught my attention. Of the three I chose, the one I picked I couldn’t find a lot of info, since it’s new. I decided to be the voice for others, reading it and reviewing what I see.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not interested in giving you word by word details, because that’s not fair to the author, and being a writer myself, I respect his right to sell his book and ideas. I’ve got a network of blogs, have an armful of articles, and a few books of my own. What I’m looking to do, is a chapter by chapter review…and letting you know if the information is helpful, and is it just glossed over what we know, or is it core stuff that I’m glad I’m learning.
