i have a horrible addiction to sugar. sometimes it gets so bad that all i will eat is candy. when i was 20 yrs old i went from 120lbs to 180lbs. I felt miserable.


it took me two years but i lost a total of 60lbs. the key for me was focusing on one thing at a time. So for the first year i thought nothing about changing what i ate, but i devoted all my energy into getting myself to exercise. It took some time, and id miss weeks at time, but after a few months i got a routine going. the second year i started South Beach Diet and i also became a certified personal trainer. South Beach is a great program because it teaches you how to eat healthy. there is a general fear of "carbs," which is not healthy, but this diet teaches you how to eat from all the food groups in a healthy way. On this diet i lost all my cravings for candy. I didnt even want it. I lost a lot of weight. The diet requires considerable time, though. i was only working weekends at the time so I could do it. Its also expensive.


Once i got a 9-5 job i stopped the diet, stopped exercising, and put on weight again. Not a lot, just ten pounds, but i felt gross again. Ever since then my life has been a bit of turmoil and I havent established a good workout program. My weight has fluctuated between 130 - 145lbs. My eating habits are terrible again, too. But one thing at a time. I am working on getting a good workout program going. I think this next year will be the year. I am moving to a better location (there are no sidewalks here to run on) and i will have more time.


Looking forward to next year!
