The Secret to my Success..
Is not so much of a secret to those of you who have been reading my blog for awhile. For those that haven’t, well this is my tell all book. Read all about it. lol.
I started this wild extreme fasting diet about June & so far have lost 49lbs. Incredible? Yes it is. And seeing that scale drop by ungodly #s every week seemed to make it all worth it to me. The weeks that I went up, were only because I lost all self control for a few days that week & had MAJOR binges. I don’t “purge” or anything of that nature. I just omit food as much as possible. I drink whatever I want, so I’d say I was pretty well on a complete liquid diet there for a bit. Actually just until today.
I’ve started to read about ppl who are eating 1200-1400 cals a day & still managing to lose 2 or more lbs a week. I figure..why can’t that be me? I work out like crazy (when I grab my motivation) but I just can’t get my eating under control. Mine is the exact opposite of most “dieters”. My problem isn’t eating too much, it’s not eating at all. Then of course when I do, I go WAAY overboard.
So anyway, the point of all this is…I’ve decided to give weight watchers another go. This time I’m going to pay for 3 months up front so I won’t be tempted to cancel my membership at the end of the first month :). I have a lot of new things I’m going to be applying to my new lifestyle next month. I’m getting a couple pieces of new work out “toys”. One being a treadmill FINALLY, another being the bodybugg, & last but certainly not least a new “balancing” ball I call them lol. Now I’m debating throwing WW back into the mix. With all these new additions I think that I am finally going to get this girl on track! Now I realize that none of these will make any difference if I give up & lose my motivation completely. That’s why I’m going to count on myself & the help of all my wonderfull buddies here to keep me moving! Feel free to yell & hollar at me when I get off track!
With the bodybugg & WW as well, I’ll be tracking what I’m eating everyday. Now going from nothing to something - I’m sure I’ll have a slight gain the first month, while my body adjusts to these massive calories it’s not used to having. I won’t be discouraged by it. I’ll just keep my head up & know that eventually my body will catch up with the change. I can’t go the rest of my life days on end without eating. I want to be the best roll model I can be for my kids. I want them to see mommy making healthy choices & pick it up like a habit. My daughter already orders salads instead of chicken nuggets when we go to McDs so that’s a great step! They love excercising with me & I love to play with them.
If this is going to be a lifestyle change, than my whole life STYLE is going to have to change. My every day is going to have to be different. Start incorporating healthier habits into everything I do. From my weight, to my personal relationships, to my financial goals & relationships. Everything has got to undergo an overhaul. Life has stress, but how you deal with that stress is entirely up to you.
NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING THIN (&HEALTHY) FEELS!!!!!
