but the warmer summers made me want to change.
I consulted several doctors and found out I had high blood pressure and cholesterol.
But these were from being over weight, not causing the excessive pounds to pile on.
All the tests felt like a waste of money when one doctor told me
“that’s what happens when you get older”.
No matter how many more excuses I heard, I never stopped feeling miserable and depressed.
In Colorado I looked after our house and garden while my husband was working.
We didn’t have much of a social life except he had a lot of work.
It all changed when moved to Florida, and his new found retirement life!
He knew a lot of people that had retired in the area too.
Everyday we met up with them, and he enjoying the beaches,
but for me it was too hard to even think of going to the beach and wearing a bikini.
I couldn't even relax around our little pool,
what would my husband think?
How he’d compare what his wife was like to all the other women around
Florida that were half my size.
I was feeling hopeless until I was told about a simple method that changed everything.
It dealt with something in the body but I don't remember it's name.
I’d never heard of it and to be honest I didn’t care what it was,
I wanted to know if it's going to work for me.
Could it fixed all my problems?
This isn't the retirement I dreamed of all my life
Surrounded by golden beaches that I could not enjoy.
Sat at home alone each day, struck with jealousy because
I refused to join him and friends.
Up to then all I knew was failed diets, useless doctors advice,
feeling depressed and hopeless.
But that is when in my deepest despair was like a switch had been flicked.
My weight began to change once I started implementing this simple method.
I went to see a doctor again and found out it had reduced my blood pressure
and cholesterol down!
