This not only made me incredibly frustrated, but it actually made me mad at myself.
Not to mention, I was getting a lot of contradicting information.
One new research would tell you that you should just eliminate carbs.
Then another website would tell you to eat a lot more.
Nothing was making sense.
I decided that the current information out there about weight management for women just wasn't going to give me the answers I was desperately seeking.
So I decided to figure it out for myself.
As I struggled to maintain my weight in a way that fit my busy schedule, I found myself being pushed up against a wall.
My favourite dresses were not longer fitting right.
The frustrations of not eating what I truly enjoyed were increasing...
...and frankly I spent a lot of days searching for a new way to manage my weight without stress.
I knew there had to be an easier way.
Then one day I thought to myself – if I could just force myself to sit down and come up with a plan...
...just focusing on the most important things that I knew would help increase my chances of sticking to the plan...
...and just try it to see what happens...
Maybe that would give me the results I needed. And it did!
When I actually sat down to create this plan, I started realising that I could save myself so much time and effort and I didn’t need to worry like I was doing.
As I began to put this plan together, I understood that as long as I covered the basics and fundamentals...
...and didn't overcomplicate things...
then I at least had a chance to come up with a routine I could stick to.
Then, out of nowhere I had a blinding insight of brilliance – if I wasn't that good at sticking to a diet...
why don't I just come up with a way where I could still eat what I want and see results?
Why don't I just come up with a simple way of tracking what I eat?
I could still eat out and I’d still stay in shape.
And what I came to discover is that once I had a plan, it was super easy to use it over and over!
With this shift in thinking, I began to keep my weight under control – without cutting out any single food, dieting or 'detoxing'!
As I continued to follow my plan, I got better and better at planning what to eat until I eventually created a system.
