Confessions Of A Carb Queen: A Former Overeater Opens Up About Her Dramatic Struggle To Lose 250 Pounds

After her doctor told her she could suffer a stroke, 38-year-old Susan Blech decided to take drastic measures to slim down from 468 pounds.

Instead of gastric bypass surgery, Blech opted to relocated to Durham, North Carolina and focus solely on shedding the weight and getting in shape. In her book “Confessions of a Carb Queen,” Blech opens up about her struggle to diet, her history of eating binges, the psychology of overeating and shares helpful advice on how to get healthy. Here's an excerpt:

"I smoothly convince myself, especially online, that I'm 'only a little chubby.' Since I rarely meet any of the men I chat with online, it's easy. I make excuses not to meet them. My whole life is conducted invisibly, on the phone.

I spend most of my days working from my apartment, obsessing about a sale or a shipment or trying to collect a payment. I'm supposed to go out on sales calls, but I rarely do. Some days, I barely get dressed. I pull on a T-shirt and a pair of black stretch pants and wrap my uncombed hair up in a ponytail and shuffle from my bedroom to my desk.

The phone rings at 8 a.m. or earlier: Sue? I need computer paper, Sue. An order didn't arrive Sue. Can I rush — Sue? I say yes to everybody; that's my job, and I'm exhausted.

I order breakfast. The deli delivers two everything bagels, toasted, with extra vegetable cream cheese, two slices of American cheese on top of the cream cheese, and a fried egg and a tomato. For a snack, I ask them to include a pint of ice cream or a bag of Milano cookies or a pound of macaroni salad. They know me. They know not to screw it up. If the bagel arrives un-toasted, I'll get on the phone with them and let them have it."

NATATLIE COLE'S SHOCKING WEIGHT LOSS

Diva, singing legend and "over comer" Natalie Cole is shocking the fat off with a new weight loss system. It is good to give this good news report in the midst of so much tragedy and sad drama in the celebrity world.

Here is the scoop. Natalie Cole like most of us has tried many many ways to loose weight. Her new thing is sending volts of electricity through her body ... and it is working .


She is showing off her new shape and an even more positive attitude, as she sings the praise of RITA CZECH of Cellulite Solutions and her "endermologie". This new technology uses mild electrical currents to melt fat, stimulate nerves and drain lymphatic fluids. Now of of course Natalie is not telling you to stop that exercise routine. On the contrary, she is saying the combination of the two is giving her "fantastic" results as she has gone from a size 12 to a size six.

I would have to agree that too many times we use fad diets and liquid extremes to be our complete weight loss system, when in fact we need to use these things as an initial "jump start" to good exercise and good eating. These programs can get us going but they can't maintain our healthy life styles. Want more info on shocking that fat click Cellulite Solutions . I personally can't wait to see the new curvaceous Natalie this new year!

My Essence of Beauty: A Weight Loss Journey

By Cousin Kim

"I like the way she's sitting!" The woman next to me offered up her compliment with a smile as I sat with one leg folded under my buttocks. I was twenty five years old and I'd spent the previous year and a half losing weight with Weight Watchers.

At twenty four my mother was married, weighed 175 pounds, and gave birth to me. At twenty four I had stepped onto the Weight Watchers scale single, not pregnant, and weighing 210 pounds.

I wanted to loose twenty five pounds by my twenty fifth birthday, so imagine my surprise when I was told that I needed to lose sixty seven pounds even to reach the top of my weight range. I thought of that sixty seven pounds as the equivalent of a first grade child. When I lost my weight, I told people that I'd lost a first grader.

Fifteen years later, I returned to Weight Watchers weighing 173 pounds. I had less to lose than the first time, but an even greater reason for wanting to lose it. It was November and I'd be turning forty in January. I wanted to look great and feel healthier when I reached that milestone in my life. I wanted to submit my photo to Essence for the Ageless Beauty contest.

My first goal was to lose eight pounds by my birthday and then continue to lose toward my goal weight. By my birthday, I'd lost ten pounds. My face was narrower and I'd dropped two dress sizes. I danced like a twenty year old in a red silk dress and bronze heels all night long and it felt great.

By July I'd lost a total of twenty four pounds. I exercise, I eat smaller portions, and I have more energy to dance like I've always loved to. For those who want to benefit from what I've learned over my fifteen year weight loss journey here are five tips to a healthier life.

1) Drink your water. Water helps the skin maintain its elasticity and youthfulness. People guess my age at 27 all the time even though I'm forty.

2) Eat more vegetables. They fill you up and have lots of vitamins.

3) Don't eat the same things all the time. The body likes variety.

4) Move the way you like. Don't go to the gym if that doesn't work for you. If you like to dance, do that for exercise.

5) You have to be willing to change the way you eat and exercise FOREVER. Think about your overall health rather than just focusing on weight loss.

Turning forty was a given, but becoming a healthier me was the ultimate birthday gift that I could only give myself. And yes, I did send that photo to Essence.
