On Sunday, I started the first phase of my weight loss journey. A phase that consist of eating ONLY: eggs, unlimited protein and raw green veggies, oranges, several supplements, and water...LOTS and LOTS of water! So far, I think I've done pretty well! I haven't cheated or eaten my hubby yet! However, Sunday night dreamed that I ate a soft batch chocolate chip cookie, only to spit it out because I knew I couldn't have it! Looks like my self conscious is even in on the deal!
Weight loss has been a goal of mine pretty much my entire adult life. I think it all started in college. I was very active in high school, you name it, I did it! I ate whatever I wanted and never really gained much weight. After attending college with early dinners, in a town that only McDonalds, KFC, and Burger King were open after hours, quite naturally I picked up a couple of LBs.. However, it wasn't until I decided not to cheer anymore and to discontinue my ROTC scholarship, did the pounds start to pile on. I've done everything under the sun to lose weight: Weight Watchers, Atkins, South Beach, Personal Trainers, etc.... But nothing ever really worked, or maybe it was me be impatient and giving up! It was recent pictures of me at my husband's cousin's wedding that forced me to hit rock bottom! I couldn't believe that was me! And you couldn't tell me that day, that I wasn't cute! I was mistaken...sadly mistaken! Even with my spanx on, my stomach stuck out! Not to mention the size of my arms.. we won't go there! So, after crying and yelling at my hubby and mom for not telling me how fat I was, I took action! I spoke to co-workers who had recently lost weight and looked fabulous to find out how they did it: QUICK WEIGHT LOSS CENTER! After much deliberation about if I could do it, the money, and THE MONEY. I signed up! I hope that this is the last time, FOR REAL this time! I am committed to lose this weight. I have to! In recent years, I have had problems with my blood pressure, heart palpitations, sore knees, headaches, and I could go on and on.. Did I mention, I'm just 28!
I am taking my life back.. I want to be in control of me! I want to go to the store and up pick my size right away! I want to kiss the 200s goodbye FOR GOOD! .............. I want to LOVE ME and most importantly I WANT TO BE HEALTHY!
So, here's to NO EXCUSES, NOT QUITING, GETTING HEALTHY, AND GETTING MY SEXY BACK!
I think I can... I think I can.... I KNOW I can!
