One Hundred Pounds Ago... (ePub)

The failure rate for manmade diets is 98.3%. The reason why manmade diets fail is because they are, well, manmade. Fasting does not have this fatal flaw. I was never one of the 1.7% of people who reached goal weight and stayed there. I reached my goal weight twice, but it wasn't sustainable because the diets I used did not address food's grip on my mind nor my food addiction. At its core, fasting is to do nothing. Nothing is easier to do than nothing. The real struggle is breaking food's grip on the mind. They don't call it comfort food for nothing. It is my hope that the information within this book will help others to come to terms with their relationship with food to get their health back and keep it. Learning to love yourself more than food is a process that once achieved will make sustaining your weight loss and health gains much easier. I'm not going to tell you it's going to be easy just to sell a book. Consider this a manual for getting your relationship with food in proper order to improve your quality of life. This is not a book that will tell you what you want to hear, it's not a "hack" to make anything easy, because nothing about saving your own life from killing yourself with food is easy. It just makes sense. It takes wisdom and maturity. This book offers nothing close to "once and done". This is a sustainable lifestyle transformation, but you have to want it. You have to want to love yourself more than you love food to stop killing yourself with food.

It's up to you of course. I just got tired of wallowing in my health malaise waiting for my next health crisis shoe to drop to further denigrate my quality of life. Maybe you need I life threatening health crisis like I had before you'll read a book like this. I hope you survive your "come to Jesus" health crisis as well as I have survived mine!
