My Accidental Diet: Wellness and Weight Loss, A New Side of Food and Fitness

by Rhonda J Fransoo

Overview

Rhonda  shares the changes she made, the things she learned, and how she overcame life’s inevitable obstacles.  With health as her focus, she began to look at food and fitness in a whole new way.  Step by step, Rhonda transformed her relationship with food.  She explains how food became fuel for the cells of her body and not just filler for her stomach.  The word ‘diet’ no longer needed to mean deprivation and starvation.  For Rhonda, it now means Delicious, Invigorating, Energizing and Tantalizing. She will share inspiring stores of falling down and getting back up again, and learning to say good-bye to foods and habits that no longer serve her.

Rhonda’s journey is about discovering new ways of doing things, new ways of eating, exercising and thinking.   She explains how exercise became something she wanted to do, not something she should do, and how running a marathon really is just practice, persistence and putting one foot in front of the other.

About the Author

Rhonda was put on her first diet when she was just 11 years old. That diet started a rollercoaster ride of weight loss and weight gain for almost 40 years. At the age of 50, Rhonda's life took an abrupt and unexpected turn that made her stop and take a good look in the mirror. What she saw was a very unhealthy, overweight, and unhappy person. She knew she had to do something or her health would only continue to decline. But, going on another failed diet was not the solution. Instead, she began a journey to reclaim her health by making one healthy decision at a time. In this book, Rhonda shares her story of how she stopped dieting, lost 45 pounds and rediscovered a whole new side of food and fitness. Rhonda is now living the active, outgoing, healthy lifestyle that she only ever dreamt of. She loves to share healthy, delicious meals with her friends and family. She is an avid runner and has completed two marathons. In the summer months, Rhonda grows a variety of fruits and vegetables in her backyard garden. She lives in Abbotsford, Canada with her husband, son, and dog Elly-May.
