In the beginning...

In the beginning there was a very frustrated girl.  She tried and tried and tried to lose weight and just when she began considering extreme weight loss measures, she found by chance, The Digest Diet.  February 6, 2013 her journey began.  She laughed at what she read in the book.  It appeared to be so simple. But from her failed past attempts with other diets, she knew that losing weight was never simple.  Well it is now June 27, 2013 and she is 52 pounds down and at a weight she has not seen since 1994. And guess what?  Her doubt in Digest Diet has now been replaced by excitement, hence this blog. 

This girl is me. Janice Hancock, 43 year old woman who has struggled with weight all my life.  All the weight loss programs I have been on have sometimes been expensive. My husband and I could have literally taken a trip to Europe on all the diets, shakes, and weird contraptions I have invested in over the years. I found Digest Diet by chance on a website looking for another diet program to purchase.  I thought, what do I have to lose but weight and it certainly was not the price I was going to pay for weight loss products I had in mind.  The book actually makes sense when you read it...and please read it.  This program has changed my life and my way of eating.  I am not hungry for sweet or salty foods and it isn't because I am taking meds or drinking a special shake.  No...I am eating whole foods, real food that my body needs and enjoys.

I would like to note that I am writing this because I really want to encourage others like me who have struggled for so long.  I am not being paid by Reader's Digest (maker of this wonderful book), and I don't work for them. I just really believe in this program and the wealth of knowledge the book contains.  My journey is far...so very far from over.  Yes, I have lost 52 pounds, but I still have over a hundred to go.  Writing that left me breathless for a bit and overwhelmed...but it is what it is.  For the first time in my life I believe that I can do this and I hope that you will not only follow me on this journey, but participate as well!
