Sacred Heart Diet Update

The very first time I tried this diet I was surprisingly very successful with an initial weight loss of 14 lbs in just one week. To find out how I lost 14 lbs in one week using the Sacred Heart Diet go here: Does The Sacred Heart Diet work for Rapid Weightloss? and I’m losing 20 lbs in one week.

Anyways, I kept losing weight after this through other forms of health routines yet when I gained a few pounds I kept trying to come back to see if I could lose some weight with the Sacred Heart Diet. After some failed attempts or some disappointment of not losing as much as the first time, I just gave up altogether.

Recently I have gained back some of the weight that I have lost due to the stresses of being a single mother, working part time and over fulltime university student. I know these are just excuses but as many single parents can relate, my life literally does not belong to me! Time is very limited in my life. It’s even more difficult when you add being a parent to special needs children. Between taking care of my children’s needs and balancing work and school, life can get chaotic and stressful.

The result of stress?

For me it’s overeating even when I’m not hungry. Just last week before Spring break started I was stressing out over midterms. I was only getting 2 to 3 hrs of sleep each night and was constantly grabbing junk food thinking it would give me energy to keep me awake enough to keep studying and get through midterms. You see I stress out over midterms more because if my GPA falls below a 3.0, I can lose my scholarships, adding even more stress to a single parent such as myself.

Now that I’m not stressing over midterms I’ve had some time to think and realized how I’m not the only one who stresses over limited time. There are millions out there who are overweight or obese due to stress eating and limited time. This type of lifestyle leaves many struggling with health and weight issues. For some it may be under eating but for the majority such as myself it may be overeating.

While the Sacred Heart Diet is a great jumpstart to weight loss and it is only a one week diet, it is one of the hardest diets out there. While some people can dedicate one week to this diet, not everyone has enough time to adapt to this diet. Some of us don’t even have minutes to ourselves let alone a week. This diet is very restricted. Our lives are restricted as it is so unless you are 110 % dedicated to this diet you will eventually fail.

I think the reason I was so successful the first time was because I was going through a sense of empowerment and was completely committed. I had a breakthrough and realized that something drastic had to be done to change my unhealthy habits. My breakthrough was when I could not even bend down to tie my own shoes. I realized how my independence could be jeopardized if I continued down this road and I did not want to be dependent on others to care for me. Unfortunately not everyone has these drastic breakthroughs and most people don’t even realize how unhealthy their lifestyle is until it’s too late to be motivated to do anything. This just results in more stress and more overeating.

Now that I’ve had time to think, I’ve come up with some solutions and possibly some original recipes that can help but I still have a lot of work to do. I will post them up as soon as I’m done. In the meantime don’t forget to checkout how I lost 14 lbs in one week with The Sacred Heart Diet and I’m losing 20 lbs in one week.

What is the reason that some people are more successful than others when trying The Sacred Heart Diet?
