Looking for weight loss miracles — still looking …


I have to confess that I’ve spent much of my life looking for two types of miracles, 1) quick and easy ways to make money, and, 2) quick and easy ways to lose weight.

The bad news is, I’m still looking for both.

Ah, well, nobody said life was supposed to be easy, did they? In fact, the only weight loss success I’ve had has always been when I’ve just “bit the bullet” (instead of the sandwich?) and started eating in moderation. I’ve tried diet pills, I’ve tried using every sort of appetite suppressant I’ve heard of. But in the long run, I’ve only lost weight by limiting my caloric intake, one hard-fought food battle at a time.

Likewise, the only ways I’ve found to make money, either online or off, is to work. The get rich quick miracle stuff NEVER works. Okay, maybe one in 100,000,000 chances are out there that I’ll win a major sweepstakes or lottery or something, and then I will have gotten rich quickly. But I don’t bank on that for my “golden years” of retirement. (Those years start next month for me, actually.)

So, as I just asked awhile ago on one of my other blogs — what’s worked for you if you’ve been battling the old body bulge? And how about making money online, specifically — anything working for you there? Just curious about all that, and would appreciate your comments.
