continuing on a different island
I kept the weight off for a while. But on guam they have Philipino food. I don't know if you are a fan favorite of Philipino food but I am. Red rice, lumpia, pancit....bread puddings galore. I ate myself back up to a hefty 183 pounds. So I was living on this beautiful tropical island and too fat to want to be seen in a bikini. I saw a picture of myself at a friends baby shower and I looked like a stuffed sausage in my clothes. I was going to church regularly by then. I heard about this Christian Weight loss program called the Weigh Down diet. So I decided to give it a try. I sponsored a class with some other ladies. The whole idea behind it is you eat when you are hungry, stop when you are not, and Pray if you get cravings in between. God created all foods, so all foods were good if you ate them in moderation. I liked that diet. And I did a really good job on it. I lost 32 pounds over the course of the program. I was hardly eating. I got stuck though. After a while no more weight would come off. I was at 151 pounds and no amount of walking, bike riding, or aerobics was getting me anywhere. So there I was. I was having marital problems, which is always bad news when you are already a person with weight issues. Then my husband went to Kuwait. I decided that I was going to try something drastic that a guy at our gym recommended. Xenadrine. It worked very well, though it made my heart race and gave me headaches. I stayed very busy, cleaning and exercising. I worked out two or three times a day and could be caught on chairs cleaning windows for no good reason except that I didnt know what else to do with myself.
