Getting my health back!

Many of you have seen the awful attempts at weight loss I've tried. With such a love of food, it becomes incredibly difficult. We all make excuses. We all find reasons for why it's ok to, "start tomorrow". I personally tried to convince myself that popcorn was totally a vegetable! And cake was part of a bread serving, right? 
I was always really thin & active, but I've always eaten whatever I wanted without consequences. It finally caught up with me. I wanted to make sure I got healthy not only for myself, but my son too. I need to show him that it's ok to eat cake once in a while, but it shouldn't replace a good meal. 
A friend of mine had been so sick with so many problems. She was on so many medications. The Drs. Basically gave up on her not knowing what to do. I think that saved her life. She got angry then she found this diet & took her life back. She's lost so much weight, alleviating so many of her health issues along with medications. I'm so proud of her. It gave me hope that I could do it too. She has helped me so much with this program. 
I am happy to say that I am down 25 lbs because of Omnitrition! I'm still not done. It's not always easy, but it's so worth it. I'm not allowed any oils, sugars or starches. Everything I love! I won't lie. I've had a few fits about it that would rival my toddlers. I miss bread & baking! BUT it's not forever. I know that this program has shown me the proper way to eat so that I can enjoy foods I love later, but will know how to eat them in moderation, which I've never been able to do. I've also discovered how to make healthy food that's delicious. It doesn't taste like I'm on diet, because it's real food! Not a box full of preservatives.  I'm so excited! I have so much more energy. I have fewer headaches. And my self esteem is managing to peek it's head out again. 
I would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to change their lives not just what's on the scale. I cant wait to keep going until i am to my goal weight! http://www.omnitrition.com/joylarson
