South Beach Diet

Hi everyone,
I’m Sharon and I need to lose weight. My partner was told to go on
the South Beach Diet and I’m going along too. We both have to lose
weight big time.
I’m 53 years old and would very much like to see 60!! I’m not an
active person at all. Never have been. I was on Atkin’s once and
for that month I did very well. I went on it with my Mother and Step
Father and I lost the most…but I hated eating that way. If it were
up to me I wouldn’t eat meat at all much less the tons of it Atkin’s
plan seems to think is ok. I got cravings for fruit!! Forget candy
and cake…I just wanted an orange!! It was too restrictive and I
just can’t live that way. My mom got me the South Beach book and it
sat on the shelf for a long time. When Mary’s doctor told her she
needs to go on it, we dusted off the book and began to get serious.
I think I’ve done every diet out there and I would guess they all
work if you just stay on them. I’m also sure I have lost and gained
a ton over the years. At this point in my life I see it as a serious
threat and one I need to address NOW.
For exercise I am going to do the Leslie Sansome Walk Away The Pounds
because it’s too scary to walk…I’ve had several leg injuries and I
am afraid to walk on the street. The last time I got hurt, I tripped
on a stone, my ankle twisted, my knee dislocated and I
fell…needless to say I didn’t walk again for a few motnhs. I’m not
eager to repeat that. I have tried the tapes and they’re good so
I’ll stick with that.
That’s my game plan. This is not a New Year’s Resolution. Those are
usually forgotten quickly. This is just something I need to devote a
lot of time and energy to. Not just for me but for my partner too.
Good luck to everyone,
Take care,
Sharon
