Have You Tried This Yet?

Thank you to P&G’s Have You Tried This Yet? program and Kroger for sponsoring my writing about trying new things and breaking out of my everyday routine. Click here to find great savings on high-performing P&G products at a Kroger store near you. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.

Well, when they approached me about this, I had to think of something I had tried.  I am passionate about keeping my weight down, I am not passionate about exercising.  So, when I decided I had to lose the weight – I had to do it without exercising.  I say that I had to do it without exercise, I mean that I knew if I committed to exercise as part of my weight loss, I would end up not exercising eventually and gaining any weight I lost as a result of exercising back.

So, I had to find a way to lose the weight without exercise so that I could keep it off.  So, I had to Try Something New!  Smile

So, I decided on portion control and I got lots of help from a book a friend recommended and from the Dr. Oz show!  The portion control and the tips in the book got me on my way and I started losing weight back in November of 2009 and I reached my body’s “happy” weight (because it stopped losing and I am eating less still – must be my happy weight!) about a year later!

Those are my before and after.  The before was at my mother’s birthday 2 years ago and the after was in January – I was shopping for new clothes!  I don’t take pics or have them taken of me often so this is all I had for after!  lol

I have lost about 100 lbs!  I stopped snoring, don’t have heartburn anymore, no more acid reflux, no more diabetes meds!  Everything seems better and I am keeping the weight off with no effort because I eat less and my body doesn’t need all the excess I was feeding it!

So, don’t be afraid to Try Something New – I had tried many diets in my life – this one was serious, so I had to find what worked for me – not everything in the book I had worked for me and not everything other people recommended worked for me – so, I always tell anyone that asks – find what works for you – then it’s good and easy!
