How would you feel about yourself if you could lose 30 pounds by this time next year? Little-kid delighted, dont you think? Better yethow would you FEEL if you could lose those pounds without measuring, counting, starving, sacrificing, sneaking, and guilting? How would you feel if you could feel full and satisfied while the pounds just slipped away? And what if you could feel better too with fewer aches and pains and more energy? My guess? Better than delightedmaybe close to ecstatic? Well, thats how Linda Ramsey felt when she lost almost 60 pounds in a year. Linda had been overweight since the birth of her daughterthirty something years ago. She was tired of being tired, and she just wanted to feel better. She knew she was getting older, and she wanted a better life for herself. After Linda and I put our heads together (mostly hers and a little bit mine), she lost close to 60 pounds in a year and the best partshe has kept it off now for over 21/2 years. Have you ever noticed how easy it is to gain weight back after youve worked so long and so hard to lose it? To Lindas thrill and relief, her husband also lost weightclose to 40 poundsand kept it off and completely got off his high blood pressure medication. Linda tells me that she has lots more energy, feels better, and the best partshe feels better about herself. Recently, she had a rather serious health problem, and she knows it would have been catastrophic if she had been carrying around 60 extra pounds. Does Linda get bored eating this way? Not at all, she says. Theres less fuss, less mess, and Im full and satisfied; not deprived in the least. How could she feel deprived when she is slimmer and fitter than she has been in years, and so is her husband. Linda has made her dream come trueto create a better life for herself and her husband.
