I had been wanting to lose 10 to 15 pounds for quite some time. Not only to feel and look better but to be healthier. I contacted Tony Bednarowski about the program he had devised, which is now BeWellCooking.com. I had met an acquaintance and he told me how much weight he had lost and it really was all about the food we eat, not dieting and exercise. Exercise tends to scare people off, including myself.
I have struggled with my weight from childhood on and I just settled for believing that that's the way life was for some. As I grew older, I searched for change and had tried every diet plan imaginable. Most never worked and the ones that did seemed to always restrict my calories so much that it was impossible to stay on them. So I yo-yo'd for years, never finding anything that would actually work for me long term.
I was always active and in good shape in high school. Once the college days rolled around, I found myself completely caught up in the college lifestyle with lots of fast food, parties and late night snacking. The pounds slowly started creeping up on me and before I knew it, I had put on nearly 60 pounds. I had always thought about doing something about it and had tried a few diets but could never seem to stick to one.
My journey started a long time ago as a child. I have always been a little overweight even though I was always pretty active. I guess looking back I just never really ate very well. Through my college years it just got worse. I ate out all the time and the studying stress just helped food become my comfort. I was also one of those girls that was a friend to all the guys; you know, great personality but not girlfriend material. I got my heart broke more than once which also helped me find comfort in food. At my highest weight I was 210 pounds at 5'7".
My husband and I were going on vacation to the Caribbean. we both wanted to lose about 15 pounds and tone up our bodies before we went. We kept putting it off and before we knew it, we had a month before we left for our trip.
