Lets just start with a confession shall we? I just finished off half a sleeve of oreos and a mountain dew. WhY, you ask? Tomorrow is detox day. This has been a long time coming. I did not go to the appointment that I had previously talked about. My mom went and told me the things that I would need to know. I am starting a diet tomorrow and its going to be brutal.......horribly brutal. But I am ready. The motivation is there and that's all I need. For now I am putting a halt on the weekly goals because I really feel like I need to solely dedicate myself to this. I have a lot of pounds to lose. Firstly I need to get my eating habits under control then the exercise regime will come into play.

I can't wait to be happy and healthy again. I have done the south beach diet before. It was very affective. I lost a lot of weight and It was a time of pure happiness. I know that I should be happy regardless of the weight that I am but I'm not. The diet is close to south beach but is a little tougher. I am hoping that along with the kind words from my mother that I can get this under control. My biggest obstacle this week will be one day after I start.....Thursday. It is book club day and we are going to the cheesecake factory. Boo...I am not going to get anything. Fellow bookclubbers have said that it will be lame if I do not get some cheesecake while there. But I am not going to. Its just like a drug addict, you can't have a lil meth every once in awhile. If I can get through Thursday then I know that I am on the right path.


 

I will periodically relay my progress. My goal is to lose 40 pounds. Here's to attempt #100ish....this time it's gonna work. Any kind words of encouragement or advice would be greatly appreciated. Love you all! Thanks in advance!

You deserve to eat the oreos & Mtn due before you start your diet tomorrow, heck I'd probably pig out on all my favorites. Good luck with it, you'll do great.

I have no doubt you will be successful! I think your idea to focus on this as your priority is a wise choice. I always find that when I set out to do everything all at once, I have a greater chance of failure. Best of luck! When you get to the workout section, let me know. I have lots and lots of suggestions from my volleyball college years. The best workout I have ever had only takes 20 minutes!

Book club is at the Cheesecake Factory? Sure go somewhere nice the one month I'll be missing. I see how you guys are. :(

Good luck on your diet. I know you can do it. A few tricks if you feel like you're going to cave eat some fruit or a healthy granola bar. Those usually help with a surgary craving as for cravings for fries/chips have peanuts or bake your own potato chips. I'm sure you know all the tricks already, but thought I'd give you some pointers just in case. Good Luck! See you in a few weeks.
