Includes a 40-day weight loss and gratitude journal I am not a doctor, a fitness trainer or a nutritionist. I am simply someone who has managed to lose 120lbs on my own without the aid of pills, surgery or trainers. I've done a lot of research on the subject and I've taken college courses but I'm no expert on the matter. I'm a 43 year old massage therapist and a human anatomy instructor. The experience I have with my clients and students has brought me to the realization that we all struggle with the same issues with weight. It seems to be a mystery to most of us and all the things we hear in the media is confusing. Eat carbs, don't eat carbs. Eat some fat, don't eat other fat. Sugar is good, sugar is bad. Nobody seems to know what to do anymore. I set out on my journey committed to losing weight my way. I wasn't going to follow fads that only served to put more pounds on in the end, I wasn't going to be hungry and I wasn't going to spend one minute doing dreadful exercises. It would be a process of self-discovery. One to enjoy and to use as a tool to feel good about myself. As the pounds came off, people asked me how I did it. After telling them, I was repeatedly asked to write it down. My process is unique and simple and it works. I decided to write this book, well, because I got tired of writing it down. I hope it helps others on their weight loss journey.
