I have been big all my life and after an injury at work which has rendered me disabled I really put the weight on and I am just sick and tired of being FAT. Severe health problems run in my family and I do not want to help myself to those problems. Four years ago I lost my husband, we were married only 9 months and 6 days. A doctor misdiagnosed him. When he died at first I couldn't eat at all, then I got angry and ate everything in sight. I divorced my first husband and lost a lot of weight then I got depressed and put it all back on and then some. I have been a yo-yo dieter all my life. I know that is extremely hard on the heart. I am very glad I found this plan. It was hard to give up the cheese burgers and fries, the pizza, and all the other foods I loved so much. It was like giving up a good friend. I came to realize that friend was really my enemy. My dad is bedridden with severe diabetes and I took one look at my eating habits and realized I was digging my grave with my mouth. I will not turn out to be like that. I have two sisters that are borderline diabetics. I told my younger sister about this plan, she can't afford it so I just send her different recipes for her to try and I have also sent her the important medical info. She has had 2 strokes and she is only 34. She refuses to get rid of her oil when she cooks but that is her decision. I know I can do this. It is a matter of life and death.
