Hopeful

I've struggled with my weight all of my adult life. I've tried diet after diet after diet with only limited results. I had come to the conclusion that I'd always be a large woman. That is, until I started reading "Reshaping It All" by Candace Cameron Bure. I downloaded it to my Kindle last night and it's already helping me.

I have to admit that I had some reservations about purchasing this book because Candace is very religious. That's not to say I'm not religious; I was just concerned that she would force her beliefs on me, which is something I cannot stand. But, I'm thrilled to admit that I was wrong. While the Bible is quoted quite often, I don't find it pushy and the quotes are appropriate to the content.

I've highlighted quite a few lines and I'm only halfway through the book. One of the things I find most interesting is that Candace doesn't count calories. I've always heard that counting calories is the best way to lose weight. I'm not sure if you've taken a look at Candace these days, but she looks phenomenal! So, I'm going to give that a shot. Another interesting point is that Candace doesn't deny herself; she indulges in moderation.

As a result, I'm feeling hopeful that I'm going to finally get this right. It's time I stop being lazy and get my body in motion. I'll be using this blog to share my adventures, set backs, thoughts, and everything in between.
