I'm a counsellor who works in the social service sector. I usually can get behind a diet if I believe in the philosophy of why I'm dieting. I used to be 165 lbs for most of my early 20's. Then as I transitioned into my 30's I found myself growing heavier until I ended up at 190 lbs. I know I need to tone, however I decided to create my own diet that didn't involve any exercise and which I could lose weight at. I stuck to the diet for 3 months and lost 30 lbs. I'm planning on going back on my secret diet again.
