I did Michael Thurmond's 6 week body makeover diet 8 years ago, before finding my amazing husband, marrying him and having two gorgeous children. I have been battling with my weight for a few years now and gone back to Michael's diet always finding excuses - it's too hard with little ones (my youngest is only 18 months) it's hard finding the time to walk and exercise and eat/stick to the program and so on. Thank you for the kick in the butt I need to say yes I do love myself and I deserve to be happy with myself once again. I have been struggling with depression lately and you have boosted my spirits. I was only crying out to God the other day and asking for his help, and today he has led me here. How amazing and awesome our loving God is. So I will start this diet and do something about this excess weight on my body that I detest so much. Thank you so so much. I look forward to hearing how your journey goes.

It's encouraging to read about other's success and I'm definitely going to check out that last program you were on! I know you'll have a lot of encouragement along the way -- and I need to join you, too! Thanks for being so honest and saying what a lot of us NEED to!

I am SO loving your open honest post here, ...Eva... I am SO loving your open honest post here, yes, I am just finding it but it was a real neat thing to read, your honesty truly inspires me. I have a different situation as I am not OVER weight but under weight, I am 5'9" and weight 125 lbs. I eat nothing but CRAP when I do eat, I can go 4-5 days without food. I live on Coffee and Marlboro's! Yes I'm "one of those" smokers/lepers... I REALLY want to change my behaviors yet I dont. HOW do you get your mind set??? my Cigs are my BFF, I reward myself with them it's my if you do this then you can have one of these. Good Grief, while moving my craft room around I rested the tall paper rack against my leg (still full of paper) and it left a bruise... WHAT??? I didn't bang it... I know I need to change my ways as I may not be over weight but I am NOT healthy... I have MANY excuses for it but I really need to sit down and do a list.. I LOVE lists... pro's and con's of my choices I guess... What I would love is someone to bang me upside the head to knock some change into me... Do you think that would work??? <br /><br />Bless you and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!! I'll be watching you!!!! ;)Kelli Hullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621831221811841693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149957354358600730.post-41849321979335944042011-01-17T08:57:44.905-08:002011-01-17T08:57:44.905-08:00What a great, inspiring post, Eva.

I, too, am at my heaviest weight ever and know that it's entirely within my power to get back down to where I want to be (about 20 lbs. lighter). I need to come up with a plan and then COMMIT! Whenever I good and make up my mind, then I always follow through. Unfortunately, I seem to let myself down over and over again. Here's to 2011 being a new start!carole (TruCarMa)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16930941624690685002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149957354358600730.post-41062485877580047742011-01-14T19:13:58.105-08:002011-01-14T19:13:58.105-08:00I'm there with you, Eva!

Way to go that you are ready to go for it...Hi Eva,<br /><br />Way to go that you are ready to go for it once again! I can join you in this problem! Thank you so much for sharing your honest story! I do think many, many people cope with this, but it's also hard to be honest, because (leaving out some people with a dicease) it's all your problem, you did it yourself to put the weight on and that's SOOO hard to be honest about... In 2005 I went to Mexico and before that I was very active and I felt happy then! I could have been slimmer, but that was okay to me, but now every year I gained and gained and I'm not feeling happy anymore... I'm happy with the person that I am, but not with what I look like... I also started this new year to be more conscious of what I eat. I cook with more veggies and eat more fruit and drinking more! And I do try to work out more, but I don't wat to do it all at once, step by step and not put my goals too high, or I will soon have a feeling of failure if I don't make that goals... The annoying thing is that my boyfriend, who eats the same I do, doesn't work out and snacks more... is only 130 lbs!!! So he needs to eat more, ha ha!! Can be quite frustrating! But we all do our best! I wish wish wish for you that you will keep up the great work!!! Hope we will all feel happy totally about ourselves soon and stay that way!<br />all the best!<br />Hugs, WendyWendy ten Hovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10864703338711134570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149957354358600730.post-25639150904439845752011-01-13T16:58:04.043-08:002011-01-13T16:58:04.043-08:00I am with you on this journey Eva..

I am trying to eat less food, even the food that is good for me. Drink less beer. Workout more! 5 times a week! So far so good! Keep up the good work! We can do this! We can get our old bodies back and feel better about having our pictures taken. :)Noelle Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156892606896172052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149957354358600730.post-42874249242586837222011-01-13T16:24:20.387-08:002011-01-13T16:24:20.387-08:00Thanks for sharing, Eva.
