I only needed one diet to work and I found it.

Hi, my name is Sandra Pettry and I want to share with you my weight loss story. Like so many other women out there I was over weight. I no dieting expert or anything but what I did do was find a system of dieting that worked, and worked well. I am hoping after you read my story that you too will find a diet plan that works for you.

Here is how I got my extra weight in the first place.

Life often takes it’s toll on a woman’s body after so many years. Going through child birth three times and working behind a desk sure did finish off that slim body I had when I was in my twenties. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family to death and I would never turn back the clock either or change anything I have done in my life but when skinny people assume that over weight people get that was because they are lazy – they need to be in our shoes for a year.

I was one foxy looking lady when I was in my twenties, 132 pounds and blond hair. A real looker but no super model. After the birth of my first son I retained 10 pounds. After I was done having two more kids I managed to gain a total of 31 pounds. It was a few years after the birth of my last child that I hit my heaviest.

I just hated how I looked, I was 163 pounds and I felt gross. I decided to try dieting and I tried them all. Atkins, South Beach, soup, lemon juice and even my least favorite – the cabbage diet. Not one of those so called super diets worked for me so I guess I just gave up.

I stopped going out with friends after a while. I just felt ugly! I started eating more and more because I just didnt care. I was in a downward spiral. At my heaviest, I weighed 187lbs. Then I saw something on Oprah that changed my life.
