Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Julie Smith and I believe that I have many things in common with many other women. At the time of this writing, I was rapidly approaching 40. I am five feet, four inches tall and I used to weigh over one hundred and fifty pounds!
I did not gain weight over night. It took a few years. You just do not seem to notice the pounds adding up. I did what a lot of women do. I got married. I had two wonderful children that I love! I was lucky enough to have one of each. I have a boy and a girl. Like I said I did what a lot of other women my age do.
I GOT COMFORTABLE!
I would stand in front of the mirror and, I did not like what I was seeing. Who is this girl looking back at me and when did she gain so much weight? It was depressing to say the very least. I would end up feeling this way the whole day! To make matters worse, everywhere that I looked I kept seeing ads stating how hard it is to lose weight because of my age and because I was a female. How silly was that?
I can be stubborn and even a little hard headed at times. I was not taking that as an answer. All of these commercials and ads saying how difficult it is to lose weight unless you buy their "miracle diet pill" or "miracle diet plan." It was sickening and I refused to take that as an answer!
I decided to put my butt in gear, literally, and do some research and you would be amazed at what I found! It was exactly as I thought a bunch of bull! Losing weight was not hard at all and I have lost over 24 pounds to this day!
