All you need to do is STOP eating and DO some exercise

OHHHH man!!!! I was so tired of hearing that statement from everybody and I mean everybody around me. Why oh why was everyone around me such an expert on diet and exercise? I would say that for the past 20 years I heard that statement at least once a week.

I had tried every single diet under the sun. Name one and I bet you I had done it. I had done NutriSystem, Gloria Marshall, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Herbalife, cabbage soup diets, protein diets only, no carb diets, vegetarian diets, meal replacements and on and on and on..

I had also gone to some drastic measures. I had liposuction to my thighs in 1995 when I was 25 years old. I then had more liposuction in 1998 to my bum, thighs and tummy. In 1999 I think I did the most crazy thing possible, I had my jaw wired shut. I lasted 9 days on nothing but fluid and went crazy in the process.

In 2002 I got a personal loan and had liposuction and liposculpture to my whole body. From my cheek bones down to my ankles. After all the swelling and bruising came down I had gotten to my dream size of size 12 (from a size 20) I looked and felt absolutely amazing. Sadly, within 2 years I was BIGGER than I had ever been.

I tried all the gyms in my neighborhood. I would religiously attend them each and every night but I hated the gym, I hated the "beautiful people" who were there. I felt like I stood out and I felt like an outcast. I would last a few months and then I would stop going.

I even had a personal trainer for 6 months who was "The Trainer from HELL". This woman would push me so hard that I fainted on 3 occassions in the gym, who pushed me so hard that I dislocated my right shoulder and when I was crying from the pain called me a "weak pussy" and only believed me when my GP wrote her a letter!!! This woman also in a span of 6 months managed to push me so hard that I sprained my ankle kick boxing and broke my big toe when I dropped a weight on it.

And people have the nerve to tell me that: ALL I NEED TO DO IS STOP EATING AND DO SOME EXERCISE!!!
Like I haven't tried?!@#??
