Weight loss tracking news!!

First of all, let me start off by saying good evening to all of my Fanatic readers out there. I've been away focusing on my weight loss that I've lost track of my blogging again. Well I know that you guys are dying to know what's been going on with my progress and how things have been going with me. I am proud to say to you all that I have lost a total of 30 pounds since I started my change of life focus in June. I know to most people this sounds like a small number for the length of time that I have been trying to lose weight. This doesn't matter to me though, because I can lose 30 pounds in 30 days if losing weight was my only problem. Unfortunately, I did some soul searching and I realized that it's not about losing the most weight and looking thin for me, it's really always been about keeping the weight off. I have lost a lot of weight in the past and gained it all back within a couple of months or a year.

I have realized through prayer and meditation that I have always had a problem with managing my stress and depression. I do not want to get on any medication to combat these problems, so I use the aid of vitamins and herbs from Herbalife. I also drink lots of Chamomile tea, which really helps take the edge off for me. I have been single and have not even been asked out on a date since I had my son and he will be nine in January. I haven't even seen too many guys out here that would even peak my fancy. Most of the African American men out here do not even date African American women. Lets just say to make a long story short that these have been my major issues and major factor for gaining weight this time.

I have read medical studies that have proven that if you cannot manage your stress well, as I have proven in the past. That you will gain weight much faster than usual. You don't even have to eat cake every day. You will also gain a huge spare tire around the middle from this. Mainly the medical cause for this is because overly stressed individuals like myself produce a certain hormone in the body, which we all have, but they produce it in an excess amount which in turn causes the weight gain.

The name of the hormone is called Cortisol. Now you cannot fight the decrease in this by purchasing those crazy gimmicky products on the t.v. or on the Internet. Trust me those are all scams. The best way to fight the over production of this hormone is to get rid of the stress in your life or most of it any way. This can be done by doing yoga, drinking chamomile tea, massage, sitting in a sauna or steam room or using herbs that help to relax you. Once you try some of these things you will see that the weight will just fall off of you relentlessly.

I have lost 30 pounds managing my stress and tweaking my eating habits. I am also happy to announce that I have lost over 38 inches all over my body. With my exercise routine I lose more inches than weight, and this is just fine with me, because I can see my results faster than just losing weight alone. I just want to thank you all for reading this blog whenever you can and I really appreciate the input and comments that I receive from you guys. Blogging has also been a great way for me to manage my stress, because I have people to express all of my concerns and secrets too. I will definitely keep you all up to date with my progress and I stand by my word to you that I will post a before and after photo of myself so that you guys can really see the transformation that I went through. Hang ten guys and pray for the country's current situation, because it affects us all. I hope to read a couple of your comments so please write away, I would love to get all of your input.
