okay I must go back to my old habits...but with a new outlook!!!




The types of food you put in your body will make you gain or prevent you from losing weight!!! I was reading facebook one of my classmates with an incredible body stated I think i'm going to break down and have teeny tiny hamburger. Well one comment said I haven't had a hamburger in months I understand the urge. Then this morning I just knew I had lost weight I stepped on the scale and I had gained weight and I ate dramatically less than I had been eating for weeks the previous day. However I was still eating foods that were bad for me like guacamole, a fast food hamburger and a handful of popcorn. So the strawberries and bananas I had for breakfast, the salad for lunch and the orange for a snack didn't mean anything compared to the fat I put in my body. I am not saying you cannot eat fattening foods you just cannot have them everyday. I think I have had this discussion on here before so maybe it is not you all I need to convince it is myself. I will probably lose weight fast if I switch to a healthier diet because my body is so use to the excess calories. So I am going back to what I know that works...like eating a fruit salad for breakfast a salad or soup for lunch and a huge salad for dinner. Don't forget snacks like fruit with a glass of water. I never said I was not eating when I was dropping pounds like crazy I just was eating better. So what happens when I want that pasta for dinner...well I will not splurge until I get back down to 165 or 166 but I will make sure I stay consistent with exercise which will help my body burn those extra calories, and I will not have fast food, fried food, carbs, sweets every day or every week!!! those a splurge items that have to be eaten with extreme moderation. So today I had water, green tea, and apple sauce for breakfast and yes I am full but not stuffed like I normally get when I have eggs, grits, bacon and toast or pancakes and bacon. I think this will be the hardest thing I eve do I mean I have been combating my weight all my life and I am determined to control this before 2011 I will not fail again. So I wanna post some of my inspiration again you all know I love tearsnomore87 on youtube but here are some celebrities in the pictures above!!!

Water!!!

Okay I am not going to go back to my old habits of losing weight because obviously it is hard for me to maintain those results!!! But I do remember how much my stomach would flatten out when i was drinking water like crazy. So I am going to go back to cutting out unecessary calories from my diet by drinking water and cutting out sodas and juices!!! I also want to add a fresh fruit or veggie to every meal. These are just small changes that I hope to build on I have also been trying to stay consistent with working out last week I worked out about 3 times, this week I worked out twice so far I made a work out plan with my brother and fiance to do insanity 3 times a week and I hope to also work out in between those three insanity days for a total of maybe 4-5 days a week. I am still at about 178-179 so I am hoping to lose water weight by drinking more water and eventually actual fat by doing insanity (they are intense workouts). So hopefully Tuesday morning I will have good news. I really want to get to 174 because that use to be the highest weight I had been at I never would have thought I would be at this point and I am hoping and determined I will never get this high again...So stay tuned for results!!!

If you lose weight too fast you'll gain back double!!!

Ever heard this statement?!?!? This is exactly what happened to me I got down to 164 by not using proper means to lose weight I was exercising but I was also using my ADHD medication to supress my appetite. Now I am huge as a blimp I actually got up to 181.2 yes you are reading that correctly. I have decided to just do this the right way I have been trying to exercise at a reasonable pace last time I was going twice a day. Most importantly I monitor my intake I eat because I am bored I can literally eat and snack all day and that is what lead to the weight gain. I am happy to report im back in the 170s (178) which is probably just water loss not weight loss but anything helps to keep me motivated. I hope I can finally succeed I don't want to be that FAT woman I want to be in shape and confidant in my body I want to wear a bikini on my honeymoon and look good (did I mention I am engaged) I also don't want to look like a blimp on my wedding day either so I got some work to do and some issues to sort out...Please Stay Tuned!!!
