I have always struggled with gaining weight since I became diabetic about 13 years ago. I think the major stress in my life is what pushed me into having diabetes (I was about average weight back then) however after about 9 years of being on medication for it I gained a lot of weight and was in that insulin/weight cycle that I could not break out of no matter what diet or way I tried. Recently a friend of mine told me about Herbalife so I tried a few samples of it and had lost a few inches as well as 2 pounds while on it for just a week. Needless to say I went ahead and signed up as well as have been on a program for a week now. Well let’s say with my daughter’s recent birthday week I was on the plan for about half the week.. (yes I ate ice cream and cake and snacked with the girls at the party) Ok normally that would be a I fell of the bandwagon kind of week and I would stay the same or even gain weight. Guess what? I lost 2 pounds and a total of 9 1/2 inches over my whole body. I averaged about an inch loss at each measured spot. I was so happy with my success so far I just had to share. I know my friends will know why since I have struggled so much with wanting to go off insulin and to lose the weight and be back to my “normal” self again… It is so stressful gaining weight and not being able to lose it when you really aren’t doing that badly with eating and exercise habits. I just know folks who don’t know me probably look at me and how I look and probably think I sit around eating bon bons all day long watching tv. I really wanted to feel good about myself again too… I’ll let you know how it goes through the summer. My goal is to be half way to my ultimate goal by the Fall.
