In late 1998, I'd reached a point in my life where, I wasn't fat, but I was getting there real fast. My flat mate had noticed that I was losing my once defined abs to blubber. He remarked: "you'd better do something about that belly." And that's when I took a good look in the mirror and took notice of what was beginning to happen to me. This wasn't me. But all along I was in denial. And to think I went to the gym five times a week? It took another person to give me that wake-up call. So guys, if you see a friend gaining weight, don't feel embarrassed to let them know. Your remarks, however painful, may change their life--for the better. It did mine!
The irony in my case, was that I was an Independent Distributor for a wellness company (inactive as was the case at the time) and I had access to products that could shed my weight in no time at all ... but I wasn't using them. I felt, for the first time, truly ashamed of myself looking at this bloated body staring back at me in the mirror. It was time for change! I was going to lose that gut no-matter what. I went to my flat mate and I remember telling him, "I'm gonna get rid of this blubber for good. Give me 10 days." He looked back at me quizzically. He must have thought I was delusional. And so I got on the phone to my MLM company, gave them my distributorship ID number and placed an order for the protein shakes, anti-oxidants, thermo fat burners and multivitamins and minerals. The shipment arrived the next morning, and boy did I go to work!
Extreme Makeover To The Point Of the Ridiculous
First thing I did, was I got on the scale and to my shock and horror, I weighed 80 Kilograms. I was livid! Next thing I did is, I took all the tablets, and made the first shake of the day. And you know what? For the next two weeks the only thing I had to eat were the tablets, 3 shakes a day and fruit in-between, plenty of water and absolutely nothing else. In 10 days, my weight had dropped to 70 Kilograms! And my stomach? Flat! Completely flat. No trace of any blubber. At all. It was time to show off. I went back to my flat mate, took off my shirt and said, "Take a look at that!" He was literally gob smacked. He simply couldn't believe I had gotten rid of that belly as intended. In 10 days! And you know what really excited me about this? I had not compromised my health in any way whatsoever. Not in the slightest. In fact, my body was on the best nutrition money can buy. The best! I was getting all the vitamins and minerals in the right proportions. And do you know something else? I have kept the weight off for 10 years! This is my 10th anniversary in the battle against the blubber and I'm winning hands down, thanks to my savvy approach to weight loss. Since my coup d'etat on the bulge, I've been on a maintenance plan (which includes healthy cooked meals), and I feel just great!
Yes, to you non-believers out there, this can be a PERMANENT solution to weight management. It is for me. It works for me AND for others I have recommended this to. And I will NEVER stop doing this. You have no idea how liberating it is to be in total control over your own body. You decide what goes in. You decide how you want to look. You call the shots. Not the other way around. Most overweight people have no control over their weight. The body dictates everything. When they eat; what they eat; how uncontrollably much they eat; their body calls the shots. And sadly most will give in to that. They will allow their bodies to dictate terms, and to make them miserable. Why? It doesn't have to be that way if YOU decide to put an end to it. I have counseled countless overweight people during my 8-years with the wellness company that changed my life, and they all seem to have the same problem. They allow their bodies to control them ... until it's too late!
In Summary: Obesity is endemic in our society today, but the battle against the bulge can be won if YOU are determined enough to lose the weight. And you're not alone. There are great nutrition companies out there that have created supplements that work, and that are compatible to today's fast-paced world. I'm not suggesting you jump onto every weight loss fad that hits the weight loss runway; be objective, selective, and open-minded ... and you will strike gold. I can promise you that. I have managed MY weight perfectly, and so can you!
