Snickers Cookies

I was significantly overweigh for over forty years of my life. During that time I tried pretty much every diet that existed and by age 65 nothing had worked.

I tried;

- The Peanut butter diet.

- The Ice cream diet.

- The low carbohydrate diet.

- The high protein diet.

- The no deserts diet.

- The vegetable diet.

- The coffee diet.

- The cottage cheese diet.

- The chewing gum diet.

- The yogurt diet.

- The watch your weight diet.

- The eat everything you want diet.

- The Jell-O diet.

- The low fat diet.

- The count the calories diet.

This list goes on and on folks.

None of them worked. Why? Oh sure each one has it's success stories I am sure, but in the end how many people ended up putting most of the weight back on? I'll wager most of them sooner or later. They didn't work because diets don't work! I'm sure this statement will annoy most of the diet specialists. Sorry folks, it's just true.

I'll bet that few of the people who failed at losing the weight permanently blamed themselves. Most I am sure, blamed the diet, the pill, the health club or the foods they were consuming.

Well, I have news for you. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Food doesn't make people fat, people make themselves fat. It's that simple.

So, if you want to look better, live longer, have more fun and energy, be healthy blaming the latest diet isn't going to give you much satisfaction. But, if you keep at them you will certainly make all of them wealthy.

Where was I? Oh, for the past thirty-five years as a professional speaker preaching; discipline, persistence, success, goals and accountability around the world, I often felt like a fraud as I am sure there were always people in my audiences who thought, "RIGHT, you ought to practice what you preach buddy. You could afford to lose a few pounds yourself"

One morning I looked in the mirror after my shower and realized - I had breasts. This book is not aimed at men or women, so let's get that clear from the beginning.

The bottom line is men are not supposed to have breasts where they need a bra to hold them up. Just imagine me shopping in the lingerie department of the local store for a bra when the sales clerk approaches and says, "And what size would you like to purchase a bra for your wife?" "Sorry Mam this bra is for me." Well you get the picture I'm sure.

Well, it was time to finally do something about my 45 plus pounds of excess flab. I was out of excuses and people to blame.

And so the decision was made.

I would lose fifty pounds no matter what.

But, here's the problem. I love sweets, you name it, I love it. I love;

Key lime pie.

Snickers bars.

Chocolate cake.

Crème Brule.

Tiramisu.

Bread pudding.

Carrot cake.

Ice cream.

Brownies.

And, oh yes, let's not forget chocolate chip cookies.

Well, before I move on here I have to tell you, that I am also a sucker for;

French fries

Onion rings

Pizza

Pasta

A big steak

Barbecue

Potato chips

Hamburg's

Potato soup

This list is also far to long to bore you with.

It was time for a change. Not a change of food tastes, likes, preferences but time for a new decision - a time for no more excuses.

It was time to be thinner and yes, lose my breasts so I could watch my grandchildren grow up and not be embarrassed at the local pool when playing with them.
