Hi, my name is Sandra Pettry and I want to share with you my weight loss story. Like so many other women out there I was over weight. I no dieting expert or anything but what I did do was find a system of dieting that worked, and worked well. I am hoping after you read my story that you too will find a diet plan that works for you.
How I got my extra pounds in the first place
I work in an office as a payroll clerk. I am also a mother of three great kids. Speeding hours a day behind a desk then coming home to feed my family and get the kids ready for ed left me just exhausted. I was mentally drained and had no energy to work out. They say that 20 minuets a day, three times a week on a treadmill can do wanders for you - I could not even find the time to have 5 minuets of solitude for myself.
I was one foxy looking lady when I was in my twenties, 132 pounds and blond hair. A real looker but no super model. After the birth of my first son I retained 10 pounds. After I was done having two more kids I managed to gain a total of 31 pounds. It was a few years after the birth of my last child that I hit my heaviest.
I just hated how I looked, I was 163 pounds and I felt gross. I decided to try dieting and I tried them all. Atkins, South Beach, soup, lemon juice and even my least favorite - the cabbage diet. Not one of those so called super diets worked for me so I guess I just gave up.
After a while I stopped going out with the girls, I hated how I felt. I even started eating more and managed to get my self to a very gross 187 pounds. I never thought that a simple TV show like Oprah could change my life...but it did. - 16004
