The Sea of Life

"One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure"

I am on a quest to lose weight. A few years ago I went on "The Hilton Head Metabolism Diet, by Dr. Peter Miller", and had great success with it. After I lost my desired weight, I followed the maintenance plan successfully.

Due to a few stressful life changing events and hard economic times, I stopped following the maintenance plan and gained the weight back. Two years ago when I moved and while packing I threw out the book. BIG MISTAKE!

My life is finally stabalizing and I am ready to do something about my weight. So I went to several book store's to buy the book and to my dismay found out the book is out of publication.

Now I know there are other diet plans out there, but none of them were as easy to follow and worked as well for me as the "Hilton Head Metabolism Diet, by Dr. Peter Miller".

Desparate to find the book, I turned to Amazon and eBay. I found it. But for a hefty price range of $50.00 - $100.00 plus dollars! I even went to the extent of contacting Hilton Head Health, in Hilton Head South Carolina only to be told, they didn't have it.

Well I am pleased to say that after month's of searching for it on eBay and Amazon I found the book for $1.99 plus shipping and handling. I received it this past Friday. Aside from the normal aged discoloration of the pages, it's in great condition!

Now that I've achieved my goal in finding the book at an affordable price and have it in my possession, I'm a happy camper.

This experience has taught me to be very careful about throwing out something that brings value to my life and that persistence pays.

I can now begin my journey to a healthy life style.
