I have always had up and down weight issues but would get stressed out and lose it and then eventually gain it back. With menopause came more weight and frankly I hated how I looked but was never prompted to try to lose until I had an ear infection and went to the Dr and they said my bp was 1.

Most of my foods were fried. That is all I knew to eat and cook. Fried chicken, fried potatoes, fried okra, fried , fried mushrooms, fried corn.. I ate tons of sugar on everything! Cereal that was already sweet even got added sugar! I would indulge in desserts every day, usually twice a day and I ate all night. I never exercised. What the hell was exercise??? I still have a hard time doing it but i am trying. I promised.. Thus began my quest to where I am now. I did not even know the lingo coming here. I thought health food was for stoned hippies. I really did.. I thought the whole eating real food was a phase. I had NO idea what coconut oil was, quinoa, hemp seed, I had no idea what high carb meant, or low carb, or any carb for that matter.

But I found if I put a sprinkle of my sugar- stevia mix in it with lemon juice I could do it! I later deleted the sugar totally and now love water. I don't drink cokes anymore. When I have tried they taste nasty. I gave up my beloved potatoes and my beloved .. I really noticed some loss doing that. I quit eating cereal and started eating eggs. I do not eat any processed food. If it is in a package I don't want it. I sincerely hate the taste of packaged foods now that I have learned to cook healthy. I only want REAL food now. I make cauliflower rice stir fry, Turkey burgers, fresh chicken lime soup.. I eat the weirdest things now. But I love it! I exercise too but I will admit I started that late in the game. I hate traditional exercise do my new go to ones are hula hoop, tap dancing, and using the stability ball. Belviq has been my best friend and stood beside me as I reworked my brain and body to succeed. Belviq works if YOU work! I just want people to know that if I can do this anyone can.
