My Crash Diet...
There is a reason why the word "DIE" is in the word Diet. It's hard. It takes discipline. It takes strength and it takes consistency. First let me tell you about my oh soooooo rockin' body. (cough cough ) I am 5'5 and I weigh 140 lbs. ! (please if you weigh more than this , please do not cast any stones) As of right now I fit into a size 10 in Misses. My problem area's are my stomach, thighs and butt. I will even say that my upper arms are getting thicker as well. It seems as if all my fat falls straight past my boobs and sinks to my lower half. Now, I know that I am not fat. I know I'm not overly over weight. BUT I am still over weight. I have always been a size 4/6 and then I had 3 kids. With each child I kept about 10lbs. So here I am 30 lbs. later. and it's just getting worse. You see, I don't eat healthy foods. I don't drink water. (except what I make my coffee with) and I don't exercise. I DO eat lots of easy microwavable foods, I drink plenty of coffee and soda's, and I have also picked up a sweet tooth along the way. (I blame my kids for that too :) I'm a mess. I feel like a mess. I just don't feel healthy. I look in the mirror and I'm not happy with how my body looks. It frustrates me that I have to keep buying new jeans in a bigger size.(and I LOVE shopping) Here is the thing, when will it stop? I know that it won't stop on it's own. I can't keep living this way, it's unhealthy. But most of all, I want to teach my children the importance of living healthy and being healthy. That brings me back to the beginning. "Hi, my name is Esther and i'm a Junk Food Junky." (I think I just lost a few just by admitting to that ) I want to use this blog to keep track of what I am doing, what I am eating and my ups and downs throughout this life changing expidition. Maybe you'll want to join me. We can suffer together and rejoice together. God knows that I'll be shedding some tears, and hopefully a few pounds along the way!

ReplyDeleteGood luck! The first few weeks is the hardest weaning your body off of the junk. Refined carbs and sugar are like a drug. I think you will do great and whether or not you"need"to lose weight getting health is always good.
