| have let yourself go like this? You're overweight | | | | lot of vegetables. Tada, there's your new evening |
| and what's not hanging down has cellulite on it. | | | | meal. |
| You don't eat right and you don't exercise. You | | | | Well, it works, you stuck to it and you lost a lot |
| have no energy and you have gotten yourself | | | | of weight in a short amount of time and you |
| into a pattern of pure laziness and denial. | | | | were able to fit back into your dress once again. |
| You were the popular one in high school. You | | | | Everybody loved you and said how fantastic you |
| were thin, beautiful and happy. You could eat | | | | looked. Everything went according to plan accept, |
| anything you wanted and never gained an ounce. | | | | you come home and the doldrums set in again. |
| But then, you get married; settle into a routine | | | | Routine takes over and very quickly, you're right |
| and start having babies. Before you know it, | | | | back where you started from and quite frankly, |
| you're 40 years old and you run the neighborhood | | | | you're even worse off than before you started |
| carpool and hand out afternoon snacks. There's | | | | and you feel like a total failure. You think about |
| no going to the gym or buying healthy organic | | | | starting your diet again but, for what? You have |
| food. You eat what the kids eat. You even clean | | | | nowhere to go and nothing to show off. There's |

| "crash diet" so you can fit into your favorite | | | | sweeteners and use Stevia, an all-natural organic |
| dress from many years ago. You tell yourself | | | | sweetener with no artificial anything in it. That |
| that you will do whatever it takes to get into that | | | | was the first thing I did and lost 10 pounds doing |
