My first goal was to go into diabetic remission. I had to lose a lot of weight and cut back drastically on carbohydrates. Being an expert in yo-yo dieting, why would this time be different? This time, I looked at the whole picture. I dealt with my emotions and my thought processes while eating better and moving more. I faced the truth, cultivated self-love, surrounded myself with the right people and got informed. I built a personal program I could stick with for good.
I did that to save my quality of life. I wrote this book so others might benefit from my experience. This book is not a weight loss program; rather, it is the story of my journey toward optimal health in mind, body and spirit.
“It wasn’t just what I ate, how much food I put on my plate and how little I moved. What it really came down to was why this destructive behaviour had become a pattern in my life.”
