Never Say Diet

Introduction: Say Good-Bye to Your Excuses Believe it or not, it is still difficult for me to say the words "I once weighed nearly 350 pounds." Not because I'm ashamed of the person I was, but because I no longer define myselfor othersby weight. For most of my life, I focused on the number that appeared on the scale and how I appeared in the mirror. Winning my weight war was not quick or easy.

I'll bet I've used every excuse you've ever thought of, maybe even several that you haven't. There are plenty of excuses to go around. In fact, at the end of this introduction, I'll list the top twenty excuses I have either used or heard. You must get beyond all of them. Your only hope for success is to decide not to allowanythingto stand in your way. Why do we allow our excuses to control our lives and damage our health and ultimate happiness? I could write a book about self-doubt, denial, and self-hatred. That's where I lived for many years. But I finally reached the point where I was done with living that way. Success began after I made some hard decisions, and I will show you how to make the same decisions so you can tell your own success story. NEVER SAY DIET AGAIN!
