Author Biography
I am not a doctor, nurse, trainer, psychologist, nutritionist or dietician. I did not go to university to study any of those things. I was actually an art major! I did go to the school of hard knocks, aka real life experience, for my knowledge of dieting and weight loss. What I do is show women who are frustrated with yo-yo dieting, who are tired of feeling bad about themselves, how to gain their health once and for all without dieting! I can do this because I have been there. In my life I have tried just about every diet there was, starting at eleven years of age. Just a few short years ago I was over 300 pounds, tired all the time, unhappy, on anti-depressants and prescription medication to control heart palpitations. I was told I would be on these medications the rest of my life. I did not like that idea, but I had resigned myself to it. It was not until I decided to shift my mindset, and unresign myself that things began to change. I have since lost over 125 pounds, gained energy and overall health and I am off all medications. I have been able to take control of my life and no longer suffer from cravings. What I have discovered is that pretty much everything we have been taught about dieting is a big fat lie! It is truly possible for everyone to achieve their ideal weight without having to be a slave at the gym or give up your favorite foods forever.
