QuestionI am a mother of three girls ages 11, 8 , and 18 months. I've been married for 14 years and happy. I can't seem to find a way to change my lifestyle for me. I have my family who depends on me for everything that there is barely anytime to even do my hair in ther morning. BUT I WANT TO change. I have been on diets since I can remember. My doctor prescribed phentermine, but she warned me that she was not going to be prescribing me anymore until I CHANGED MY LIFESTYLE. When she laid down the law and said those words I have not been able to forget them. So my question is "what can I do to change my lifestyle?" Most of my days are in cleaning up, making meals for my family, doing laundry, doing the finances, helping with homework, just doing, doing, doing and never done. I almost feel ensalved to my home but I can't feel at rest until everything is done. I am blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom. But I know that there is got to be a way that I shift things around. Please help with some ideas as to how to change my lifestyle to better my health, my weight. I know this sound like an easy question. But, it is a complicated one for me? If you can understand me? Thanks in advance.
AnswerNorma, first off, I apologize for not answering right away. I was out of town doing a promotional tour for my book, The Vice Busting Diet, which just came out in paperback.
Now, for you!
You change your lifestyle by changing ONE thing at a time. I would recommend the first thing you do would be to drink 1/2 your body weight in fluid ounces of water. Nothing else but that for now.
You may think it couldn't possibly be enough of a change to do any good, but trust me, it is the first cornerstone of a foundation of change.
Do this and then check in with me in 2-3 weeks, after you have successfully done this, then I will give you step two.
My success in the weight loss industury is in helping people permanently change their lifestyles;thus permanently keeping off weight they lose due to such changes!
Take it slow, do it my way and I promise you will change!
Carpe Diet!
