Diet: Personal Weight Loss Story
It was the happiest day of my life. I was running down the concourse of the airport to catch my plane to a new life in the Air Force. I felt free and alive for the first time in my life.
At first they did not want me because I was overweight.
However, I did it and lost the weight. I was 125 pounds. I made it and it felt fantastic. A whole new wardrobe of sizes 10s and 11s were waiting for me. (I lost 40 pounds in six weeks eating only protein and drinking lots of water)
Then I had to wait six months before going active duty. During that summer I had a great time; biking, hiking, swimming, golfing. I ate fresh fruits, vegetables, and watched what I ate. I was full of energy and lost some more weight.
During basic training, I lost even more weight. All that marching and running around, then eating military food. I was 115 pounds.
The key to the whole thing was I wanted it so bad, that I new any diet would work.
It wasn't always that way. I use to be shy, backward, naive, and very heavy. 165 pounds and 5 foot 4 inches. That was over 20 years ago, and I kept it off. It lead me to the fabulous world of food, nutrition and fitness. My life changed forever.
All those years of research has lead to "The List Diet." It is one dynamic complete plan with only 5 lists to follow.
Why complicate such a simple matter of eating? It is a matter of sticking close to Mother Nature and Moderation. Experts write books with hundreds of pages. I did it with one piece of paper.
