Diet and lifestyle changes

I have learned many things over the years, and I have focused on my weight for the majority of my life.  This has been a sad an uncomfortable battle, not that my weight has always been out of control, only twice in my life have I been overweight in a dramatic and very real sense.  Currently I am in that second time period, and I am working to get myself out of here, and back into my normal size body.  The fist time I had to loose weight, I was terribly afraid of beginning to slip into an eating disorder, and so I was very happy when I was introduced to the Weigh Down book and program.  I only read the book, and did not get into the movement any further than that.  I would recommend others who are afraid of eating disorders or those who have a difficult time with religion or understanding of God's grace to not delve any farther either.  Recently I did get other CD's and books, and found that my head was becoming filled with thoughts that I normally never consider.  I believe that God's grace covers many things, and that your body size is not a main concern of God. These feelings were difficult to shake after listening to some of these CD's, so just read the book take the principles and move on.  I would love to interject humor into this little posting of mine, but really I'm not finding much humor in the situation myself.  Maybe later on I will find the humor and type away with a funny little story.

So, this last time I found myself spiraling out of control, which was very unusual and frightening, I was unable to actually follow the principles I learned in Weigh Down, this was very disturbing to me.  I had lost control, and I felt like a horrible person.  That is until I was diagnosed with PCOS, and understood that this is a hormone imbalance and that others have the same struggle, and that my body was not using food like it should.  That is when I began Medifast, and lost some massive amount of weight. But that only worked for so long when I got tired and gave up for a bit.

I am currently learning how to live my life in balance, and continue to loose weight at a reasonable rate and in better balance by following the Metabolism Miracle, this has been a challenge for me to actually stick with the step one process but I am getting there. Okay, I'll be honest I have not yet completed one full week on Step One of the program, but next week is my week! I'm sure of it. 

Through both of these programs I have been doing better at getting control of my life and now I can begin to incorporate the Weigh Down principle of eating when you are hungry and stopping when you are satisfied, along with eating the proper foods spaced out over the whole day as I have learned is necessary with Metabolism Miracle.  So, I'm still doing small portions so that I'm hungry when I need to be, but I will be eating the right foods so that my body does actually get hungry.
