My whole life was changing; I was getting divorced after 20 years of marriage, looking for happiness, trying to get my life back and I was so overwhelmed with everything. The last thing I needed to be overwhelmed with was getting off 50lbs of weight.
My whole life I tried dieting. I was so afraid. I am not kidding, I tried everything – the cookie diet to the drinking liquid diet, the weigh yourself and be humiliated in front of everyone diet. I didn’t want any of them. I remember my moment and I was watching QVC, sitting there so overwhelmed when Nutrisystem came on. They were talking about glycemic index – what’s that? They were talking about good carbs. And I thought, FOOD, that’s a concept. Actually eating on a diet. Actually eating foods you wouldn’t normally eat on a diet. And I ordered Nutrisystem.
I want to encourage people, what is your moment? What is going to shake you up? I realized I had a good 45 to 50 years left and I looked back and said, do I want 40 years of this? My mother said to me, do not do what I did. I wish I could be there to help you with your children. You have to take care of yourself and your body. As a women, we take care of everyone else, but ourselves. And that was my moment!
Make this your moment and do what I did. And oh…the Mac & Cheese in my new Marie’s Favorites – I think it’s fantastic!
