I’ve received countless emails in the past couple of days asking what the secret to my success is. At first I was dumbfounded by the people asking me this! I received the emails on the NS website. My secret is simple and easy to do. Stick with the program and exercise. It’s that simple.

When I first started with NS, I knew I needed to get a refresher course on how I should be eating. I took the approach to NS as I would take a class in college. I’ve never viewed it as a diet or the sole reason for doing it to loose weight. I wanted to change my attitude, the way I viewed my relationship with food and what’s going to be the optimal way for me to eat and be healthy. The exercise part comes easy for me. I’ve always liked to exercise and be active. It makes me feel good, really good. I like to sweat and feel my muscles tremble after a good workout.

NS works and it takes time for it to work. I read blogs and emails all the time saying they’ve been on the program for a week or so and they’ve only lost 2 pounds! People, you lost weight! Granted it may not be as much as you want, but you still lost. The other issue I hear a lot about is the food and the way it tastes. It’s a program designed to teach you how to change your relationship with food and get control of your portion sizes, NS doesn’t claim to be gourmet food or five star cuisine. The food tastes good in the beginning because it’s new. The inverse holds true as well. The food may not taste very good to start, but you have to make some concessions to get to your goal. If it were that easy, you wouldn’t have ordered the food to start.

The program gets easier to follow and adhere to the longer you stay with it. It gets to the point where you don’t fear going out to eat or attending a party where you know there’s going to be tempting treats. You’ll get to the point where you’ll just be able to enjoy the company of those around you and graciously smile as people tell you how good you look.
