READ ALL ABOUT IT! NOW YOU CAN DO JUST THAT, I AM IN THE BOOK "WIN THE FAT WAR" by ANNE ALEXANDER..

AS I SIT HERE LOOKING AT THIS SCREEN I WONDER SOMETIMES JUST WHAT IT WAS THAT BROUGHT ME TO THIS TIME AND PLACE IN MY LIFE. WHEN I GOT THIS COMPUTER I NEVER IMAGINED SITTING AT IT AND WRITTING DOWN FOR OTHERS TO READ ABOUT LOSING SO MUCH WEIGHT. I MEAN I HAD SEEN ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO GOT ON TV FOR HAVING LOST 100 OR 200 OR SOME FANTASTIC AMOUNT, BUT THEN I LOOK AT ME, MY GOD 401LBS LOST IN 6 YEARS. THE FIRST MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTION HOW DID YOU DO IT? WHAT MADE YOU START? HOW IS IT GOING AND HAVE YOU KEPT IT OFF? WELL LET ME START BY SAYING THIS, LOOKING AT MYSELF IN A MIRROR I NEVER THOUGHT I WAS FAT, I MEAN I WAS STILL GETTING INTO CLOTHES, OF COURSE THEY WHERE 7 AND 8 XXX SHIRT WISE AND SIZE 58 ALMOST SIZE 60 PANTS, BUT THEY WHERE STILL CLOTHES! I WAS STILL DOING THINGS LIKE I USED TO, OR SO I THOUGHT, I MEAN THERE WAS ALOT I WAS NOT ADMITTING TO. FOR INSTANCE MY REAL WEIGHT, I WILL ADMIT TO BEING OVER 560 WHEN I STARTED BUT I CANNOT SAY IT TO MYSELF OR OUT LOUD HOW MUCH I REALLY WEIGHED. NOW HOWEVER I HAVE COME FACE TO FACE WITH MY REAL STARTING WEIGHT AND IT WAS 620LBS...OH MY GOD I FINALLY HAD TO SAY IT! SO THERE I SAT THINKING HOW GREAT EVERYTHING ABOUT ME WAS! HA HA HA WHAT A LAUGH. SO LIKE I SAID SITTING THERE I ENDED UP WATCHING SOMEONE ON TV WHO HAS NOW COME TO MEAN A GREAT DEAL TO ME. SHE WASN'T TALKING ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT OR ANYTHING IN PATICULAR BUT IT WAS LIKE HER VOICE AND HER WORDS THREW A SWITCH TO THE ON POSTION IN MY HEAD. BAM IT STARTED TO HAPPEN. I STARTED CHANGING.... ME, I WAS DOING THE FIRST MOST IMPORTANT THING LISTENING TO MY BODY. I NOT ONLY CHANGED WHAT I ATE BUT HOW I ATE WHEN I ATE AND FOR WHO I WAS EATING. I HAD TO DO IT FOR ME AND THANK GOD I DID. NO HELP,NO PILLS, NO RICHARD SIMMONS OR ANYONE LIKE HIM JUST ME. IT WASN'T EASY AND IT TOOK A LONG TIME BUT I DID IT AND IM NOT TRYING TO BE A MENTOR OR A HERO OR ANYTHING ELSE, I JUST WANT TO LET ANYONE INTERESTED KNOW THAT IF I CAN DO IT SO CAN YOU! IT CAN BE DONE ITS A SLOW PROCESS AND NOT A VERY EXCITING ONE AT FIRST, BUT IT CAN BE DONE. SO, I WISH ANYONE READING THIS LUCK AND WELCOME ALL INQUIRES AT MY EMAIL ADDRESS. I WILL TRY TO ANSWER THEM IF I CAN. SO GOOD LUCK, AND GOOD DIETING. FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. AS FOT THE DIET I FOLLOWED,MANY HAVE ASKED ME TO LIST WHAT I ATE HERE. BUT, I JUST CAN'T, YOU SEE WHAT I DID WORKED FOR ME AND IM NOT SURE IT WOULD WORK FOR OTHERS. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I CAN TELL YOU IS FIND WHAT WORKS TAKE THE BEST OF OTHER DIETS YOU HAVE BEEN ON AND PUT THEM TO WORK. CHANGE FOR YOU!!!! THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON I CAN GIVE YOU, IF YOU CAN DO IT FOR YOU THEN IT WILL WORK. I HAVE ALWAYS CALLED IT A CHANGE IN LIFESTYLE, NOW SO ARE OTHERS, AND BASICALLY THAT IS WHAT YOU MUST DO IT FOR YOU! I HOPE I CAN BE SUPPORTIVE OF ANYONE WHO COMES HERE. I ONLY WROTE TO LET OTHERS KNOW THAT IT CAN BE DONE!!!! THIS JUST IN.......AS I SIT HERE I REALIZED IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS SINCE I SAT AND PUT THIS DOWN FOR THE WORLD TO READ. ALOT HAS HAPPENED TO ME, BOTH GOOD AND SO SO....I HAVE HAD THE GREAT JOY OF MEETING MISS ANNE MURRAY, SHE READ MY STORY AND ASKED TO MEET WTH ME. I ALSO HAVE MADE SO MANY WONDERFUL FRIENDS. I HAVE LEARNED THAT I CAN INSPIRE AS WELL AS HURT. BUT MOSTLY INSPIRE. I HAVE BEEN TURNED DOWN TO BE ON OPRAH WINFREY AND RICHARD SIMMONS SHOWED NO INTEREST...WHICH IS FINE CAUSE I DID THIS FOR ME NOT THEM! I FEEL GOOD I HAVE ALOT OF NEW CLOTHES AND I ACTUALLY AM THINKING OF GETTING A MAKEOVER...SOMETHING I HAVE NEVER DONE! SO KEEP VISITING ME AND CHECKING...HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT BE ANOTHER 2 YEARS BEFORE I UPDATE THIS.......ALSO IF ANYONE OUT THERE CAN GET THIS TO....LORRIE MORGAN I AM STILL THANKING YOU AND WAITING FOR SOME TYPE OF REPLY......WELL I CAN STILL DREAM......KEEP THE MUSIC FLOWING IT HAS ALOT TO DO WITH HOW WE HANDLE EACH DAY.
