Today I started the last diet I will ever do. Why do you ask? I believe that this is finally the time that I will acheive the weight loss goals I've set for myself. I am going through the Metabolic Research Center in Lincoln. For the first time in my life I'm truly excited to lose all this extra weight that equals 1 more of me. I can't believe that I've allowed myself to gain this weight steadily over the last 15 years of my life. But finally with the support of my wonderful husband and my friends I'm going to kick this battle in the booty!
I went in for my initial consultation on 11/20 and for the following week I did what is called pre-conditioning to get my body ready for the changes that I'm making. On 11/28 I had lost 3 lbs. and then today 12/1 when I weighed in I had lost another 3 1/2 lbs. WOW!! 6 1/2 lbs in a week and a half and I've not even really started the diet. I can't wait until Thursday for my next weigh in.
The one thing that I think may be hard is while I have the emotional and verbal support of my husband and children, they don't tend to want to help as much as I'd like with the food changes that need to be made in the house. So I've got to discipline myself to make my foods while they make seperate meals. That is the one thing I've decided is that I won't be making their meals, as I know that could be a weakness to cheat, and I don't want to cheat at all!! I'm truly excited to see the changes that will be taking place in me and I also am planning on keeping everyone updated on here who wants to follow my journey with me.
The picture that I posted was one Jimmy took of me yesterday, and I'll update my weight loss with photos for everyone to see how well it's going. I have to say I don't really like the picture that I've posted, but that makes it all the more incentive to lose this weight, to look and feel healthier. I keep telling Jerry that he's going to have a smoking hot trophy wife when I'm done. He's not so sure he'll be able to handle that, but I say TOUGH!! LOL!!

I typed a really long message, but think it somehow was lost when I was signing my name.....so if you get this twice - it's not due to intoxication!
I can feel your excitement to succeed in your message. You go girl!! I imagine it will be hard to make the change if the family is not wanting to make the same food choices you are, but over time maybe they'll decide they'd rather have what you are eating! Keep after it and remember to turn to God when you are feeling tempted. Every time you choose Him, you win!!
