When it comes to fast and easy weight loss, I am an expert on the subject. Well, that's what my friends and coworkers seem to believe. After all, I did lose forty pounds in less than four months last year. Fifty pounds if my doctor is to be believed. I don't believe her. If I lost fifty pounds, then that would mean that I started out weighing…a lot more than I'd ever admit to!
My friends and coworkers were simply amazed at my weight loss. They all wanted to know my secret. Being the wonderful person that I am, I shared all of my dieting tricks with them for free.
The shakes, the diet pills, and the low-calorie microwavable meals. All great weight loss tools. Too bad none of them helped me lose those forty (maybe even fifty) pounds. Don't get me wrong, I loved those things. The shakes aren't bad, and they have lots of healthy vitamins and stuff. The microwave meals were very convenient. Some of them are even tasty. And the diet pills…a wonderful invention. I went days without even thinking about eating.
After trying all of those things, I got a grip. The only real way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you take in. I cut calories and rode my exercise bike faithfully. Boring, but effective. People were horrified when I shared my “secret.” They were all ready to pop that magic pill and fix the problem. The look on their faces when they realized my weight loss involved some discipline and work!
Not that I have given up on finding an easy way to lose weight. I'll need one if those fifty, I mean forty, pounds come back. If I find that magic solution, you can bet my secret won't be free. It'll be at least $6.95 and will be available wherever paperbacks are sold.
